Final answer:
The shipping crate with a base area of 10 2/3 square feet and a height of 4 feet can hold a total of 42 2/3 cubic feet.
Step-by-step explanation:
To calculate the volume of the shipping crate, you multiply the base area by the height. The base area of the crate is 10 2/3 square feet, which can be converted to an improper fraction as 32/3 square feet. The height is 4 feet. Therefore, the total volume (V) is:
V = base area × height
V = (32/3) sq ft × 4 ft
V = (32/3) × 4
V = (32 × 4) / 3
V = 128 / 3
V = 42 2/3 cubic feet
The crate can hold a total of 42 2/3 cubic feet.
