Step-by-step explanation:

GIVEN;

We are given a rectangular prism with the following dimensions;


\begin{gathered} length=11in \\ width=3(1)/(4)in \\ height=1(1)/(4)in \end{gathered}

Required;

We are required to calculate the volume of the rectangular prism.

Step-by-step solution;

To calculate the volume of a rectangular prism, we shall use the formula;


Volume=l* w* h

We can now convert the parts in mixed fractions as shown below;


\begin{gathered} w=3(1)/(4)=(13)/(4) \\ \\ h=1(1)/(4)=(5)/(4) \end{gathered}

We now substitute the values into the formula;


\begin{gathered} Volume=(11)/(1)*(13)/(4)*(5)/(4) \\ \\ Volume=(715)/(16) \\ \\ Volume=44(11)/(16) \end{gathered}

Therefore,

ANSWER:

The volume is;


Volume=44(11)/(16)in^3
