Answer 1

Volume = = 138⁶/32 cubic meters

Explanation:

Given:

Length = 8⅜ m

Width = 2 m

Height = 8¼ m

Required:

Volume as a mixed number

Solution:

Volume of rectangular prism = L*W*H

Plug in the values

V = 8⅜ × 2 × 8¼

Change to improper fraction

V = 67/8 × 2 × 33/4

= (67 × 2 × 33)/(8 × 4)

= 4,422/32

= 138⁶/32 m³
