Answer:

The answer to your question is Volume left = 472.5 cm³

Explanation:

Data

7 cm x 5 cm x 18 cm

She drank 1/4

Volume left = ?

Process

1.- Calculate the volume of the rectangular prism

Formula

Volume = length x width x height

Substitution

Volume = 7 x 5 x 18

Result

Volume = 630 cm³

2.- Divide the volume by 4

630 /4 = 157.5 cm³

3.- Subtract 157.5 from the original volume

630 - 157.5 = 472.5 cm³
