Question

What is the maximum volume of water a hamster bath could hold with a deph of 1 2/3 , a length of 2 1/3 inches and width of 2 inches.

Answer 1

Answer:

$7\frac{7}{9}in^{3}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Volume of a prism can be found using the general formula:

V = l x w x h, where l = length, w = width and h = height

Given the dimensions of l = $2\frac{1}{3}in$; w = $2in$ and h = $1\frac{2}{3}in$, you can first convert your mixed numbers to improper fractions and then multiply.

$2\frac{1}{3}in$=$\frac{5}{3}$

$1\frac{2}{3}in$=$\frac{7}{3}$

V = $\frac{5}{3}*\frac{7}{3}*\frac{2}{1}=\frac{70}{9}=7\frac{7}{9}in^{3}$
