Question

find the volume of the rectangular prism. write your answer as a whole number, a proper fraction, or a mixed number. cubic meters

Explanation:

Step1: Convert mixed - numbers to improper fractions

$1\frac{1}{8}=\frac{1\times8 + 1}{8}=\frac{9}{8}$, $1\frac{3}{5}=\frac{1\times5+3}{5}=\frac{8}{5}$, $2\frac{2}{3}=\frac{2\times3 + 2}{3}=\frac{8}{3}$

Step2: Use the volume formula for a rectangular prism $V = l\times w\times h$

$V=\frac{9}{8}\times\frac{8}{5}\times\frac{8}{3}$

Step3: Simplify the product

First, $\frac{9}{8}\times\frac{8}{5}=\frac{9\times8}{8\times5}=\frac{9}{5}$. Then, $\frac{9}{5}\times\frac{8}{3}=\frac{9\times8}{5\times3}=\frac{72}{15}=\frac{24}{5}=4\frac{4}{5}$

Answer:

$4\frac{4}{5}$
