Question

A small box measures 3 1/3 in. by 2 3/4 in. by 1 5/6 in. high. What is the volume of the box? Show your work

Answer 1

The volume is 16 29/36 or 16.81

Explanation:

Volume of a box v = Length l × width w × height h

l = 3 1/3 = 10/3, b = 2 3/4 = 11/4, h = 1 5/6 = 11/6

v = 10/3 × 11/4 × 11/6

v = (10*11*11)/(3*4*6)

= 1210/72

V = 605/36

≈ 16 29/36 or 16.81
