To find the volume of a rectangular prism, you multiply the length, width, and height.
Volume = length x width x height
Volume = (2 1/2 ft) x (3 2/3 ft) x (4 1/2 ft)
First, convert all the mixed numbers to improper fractions:
2 1/2 = 5/2
3 2/3 = 11/3
4 1/2 = 9/2
Now multiply:
Volume = (5/2) x (11/3) x (9/2)
Volume = (55/6) x (9/2)
Volume = 495/12
Volume = 41.25 ft³
Therefore, the volume of the rectangular prism is 41.25 cubic feet.
