Question

What is the volume of this rectangular prism? The width is 4/3, the length is 5/4, and the height is 3/5 in all cm.

Answer 1

The answer would be 1, for the volume of the rectangular prism.

Explanation:

The equation for the volume of a rectangular prism is:

Volume = Length * Width * Height

Way 1

Step 1 (Optional):

Convert the fractions to decimals

4/3---> 1.33...

5/4---> 1.25

3/5---> 0.6

Step 2 (Needed):

Multiply the numbers together.

1.33... * 1.25 * 0.6 = 1

(It would be preferred to do the equation via calculator if you're doing it with decimals)

Way 2

Step 1 (Needed):

Multiply the fractions together.

4/3 * 5/4 * 3/5 = 60/60 ---> 1

(Multiply the numerators and denominators separately)

Answer 2

1
`cm^(3)`

Explanation:

Volume of a rectangular prism is w*l*h

multiply the three numbers together to find your volume

`(4)/(3) *(5)/(4) *(3)/(5) =(60)/(60) =1`
