Question

What is the volume in cubic feet, of a rectangular prism with a height of of 2 1/2 ft a length of

2 1/4 ft and a width of 3 1/8 ft? Your answer should be a mixed number in simplest form.

Answer 1

[AI-generated answer — Bot GPT 3.5]

The volume of a rectangular prism is calculated by multiplying the length, width, and height.

Volume = length x width x height
Volume = (2 1/4 ft) x (3 1/8 ft) x (2 1/2 ft)
Volume = (9/4 ft) x (25/8 ft) x (5/2 ft)
Volume = (9 x 25 x 5)/(4 x 8 x 2) ft^3
Volume = 1125/64 ft^3

To simplify this fraction, we need to divide both the numerator and denominator by the greatest common factor, which is 1 in this case.

Volume = 1125/64 ft^3 = 1125 ft^3 / 64
Volume = 17 37/64 ft^3

Therefore, the volume of the rectangular prism is 17 37/64 cubic feet.

Let's review the calculations to confirm the accuracy.

Volume = (2 1/4 ft) x (3 1/8 ft) x (2 1/2 ft)
Volume = (9/4 ft) x (25/8 ft) x (5/2 ft)
Volume = (9 x 25 x 5)/(4 x 8 x 2) ft^3
Volume = 1125/64 ft^3

To simplify the fraction, we should divide both the numerator and denominator by the greatest common factor, which is 1 in this case.

Volume = 1125/64 ft^3

Upon further review, the simplified mixed number should be:

Volume = 1125 ft^3 / 64 = 17 37/64 ft^3

Therefore, the correct answer is 17 37/64 cubic feet.

Answer 4

Is that in simplest form?

Answer 5
