Question

A storage container is in the shape of a rectangular prism, with a length of 3 1 5 feet, and width of 1 3 4 feet, and a height of 2 1 4 feet. What is the container's volume?

Answer 1

`12(3)/(5)` cubic feet.

Explanation:

Given information:

`\text{Length of container}=3(1)/(5)=(15+1)/(5)=(16)/(5)`

`\text{width of container}=1(3)/(4)=(4+3)/(4)=(7)/(4)`

`\text{height of container}=2(1)/(4)=(8+1)/(4)=(9)/(4)`

Volume of a cuboid is

`V=length* width * height`

`V=(16)/(5)* (7)/(4)* (9)/(4)`

`V=(63)/(5)`

`V=12(3)/(5)`

Therefore, the volume of container is
`12(3)/(5)` cubic feet.
