Hello, I can help you with this

You can easily solve this by using a rule of three.

Step 1

define

the top section has a volume of 3/8 of the entire refrigerator.

if the entire refrigerator has a volume of 1, the bottom section has a volume of

Volume of bottom section=1-(3/8)

Volume of bottom section=5/8

Step 2

to find the entire volume use the rule of three

if

(5/8) of the entire volume ⇔30 cubic feet

(1) entire volume ⇔x cubic feet

`(5/8)/(30\ cubic\ feet)=(1)/(x) \\\\\\ isolating\ x\\\\x=(30\ cubic\ feet)/(5/8) \\x=48 cubic feet\\`

the entire volume is 48 cubic feet.

Have a great day.
