Width: 5:6 yd
Height: 4/5 yd

Volume = L x W xH

Answer 1

660 ft

Explanation:

is this right?

Answer 2

You simply need to plug those fractions into the given formula and multiply:


`V=l*w*h= (2)/(3) *(5)/(6)*(4)/(5)`

To multiply fractions, you can simply multiply the numbers on the tops of each fraction (the numerators) together. And multiply the numbers on the bottoms (the denominators) together:


`V=l*w*h= (2*5*4)/(3*6*5)`

You can do some cancelling if you like or just multiply and then reduce:


`V=l*w*h= (40)/(90)=(4)/(9)`

The volume is
`(4)/(9) \text{ yards}^3`.
