Question

When you apply the volume formula, what is the volume, in a mixed fraction in cubic feet, of a rectangular shipping container that measures 7 1/2 ft. long, 2 1/2 ft. tall, and 2 1/2 Ft. wide? The answer will be a mixed fraction in cubic feet.(1 point)

ft.3

The volume of a rectangular shipping container is calculated using the formula V = l x w x h, where l is the length, w is the width, and h is the height.

Given:
Length = 7 1/2 ft = 7.5 ft
Width = 2 1/2 ft = 2.5 ft
Height = 2 1/2 ft = 2.5 ft

Volume = 7.5 ft x 2.5 ft x 2.5 ft
Volume = 46.875 ft³

Since the volume needs to be expressed as a mixed fraction, you can convert 46.875 to a mixed fraction as follows:

46.875 = 46 875/1000 = 46 375/400

Therefore, the volume of the rectangular shipping container is 46 3/4 ft³.

Apologies for the error in the previous response. Let's calculate the volume correctly.

Given:
Length = 7 1/2 ft = 7.5 ft
Width = 2 1/2 ft = 2.5 ft
Height = 2 1/2 ft = 2.5 ft

Volume = Length x Width x Height
Volume = 7.5 ft x 2.5 ft x 2.5 ft
Volume = 18.75 ft³

Therefore, the volume of the rectangular shipping container is 18 3/4 ft³.

I apologize for the mistake. Let's try the calculations again:

Given:
Length = 7 1/2 ft = 15/2 ft (since 1/2 is the same as 2/4 which simplifies to 1/2 = 2/4)
Width = 2 1/2 ft = 5/2 ft (same logic as above)
Height = 2 1/2 ft = 5/2 ft (same logic as above)

Now, let's calculate the volume of the rectangular shipping container:

Volume = Length x Width x Height
Volume = (15/2) ft x (5/2) ft x (5/2) ft
Volume = 375/8 ft³

To convert to a mixed fraction:

375 ÷ 8 = 46 with a remainder of 7
So, the volume is 46 7/8 ft³.
