Question

The volume V of a rectangular prism with length l, width w, and height h is v equals l times w times h. What is the width of a rectangular prism with volume 450 cubic inches, length 20 inches, and height 7.5 inches?

Answer 1

450=w•20•7.5
^
450= w150
——- ———
150. 150

3=w

Answer 2

The answer is 3 inch

Explanation:

To start off, the equation you want to use the formula V=whl

Next, you simply plug in the values you already know, so you have 450=w*20*7.5

After you do that you multiply 20 times 7.5 to get which is 150, which leaves you with 450= w *150 to solve for w, you need to isolate it. To do that you divide 450 by 150. You are left with the answer of 3.
