Complete question :

Tim knows the volume and base area of a wooden chest that is in the shape of a rectangular prism. If the volume is 5/24 cubic unit and the base area is 1/5 square unit, what is the height of the chest?

Answer:

1 1/24 units

Explanation:

Volume of a rectangle prism:

Volume = Lenght * Width * Height

Base area = Length * width

Volume = Base area * Height

Volume = 5/24 unit³

Base area = 1/5 unit²

Plugging values into our formula :

5/24 = 1/5 * height

Divide both sides by 1/5

Height = 5/24 ÷ 1/5

Height = 5/24 * 5/1

Height = 25 / 24

Height = 1 1/24

= 1 1/24 units
