Enter your answer in the box as a simplified mixed number or a decimal. -Please help me I rewatched the class like 8 times I don't understand usually I am good at this stuff! If someone could explain that would be awesome!​

Answer 1

Given:-

• length=
  `\displaystyle{2(1)/(2) }`meters
• width=4meters
• height=
  `\displaystyle{2(1)/(4) }` meters

Volume=lwh

`= \displaystyle{2 (1)/(2)m * 4 m * 2 (1)/(4) m}`

`= \displaystyle{ (5)/(2)m * 4m * (9)/(4) m }`

`= \displaystyle{ } (180 )/(8) {m}^(3)`

`= \displaystyle{ 22 (4)/(8) {m}^(3) }`
