Question

A rectangular prism has a length of 1 1/2 m, a width of 3 m, and a height of 5 1/2 m. Enter the volume of the prism as a mixed number in simplest form in the box.

Answer 1

The answer is 24.75.

Answer 2

first convert to impropoer
a/b where a>b
1 and 1/2=1+1/2=2/2+1/2=3/2
3=3/1
5 and 1/2=5+1/2=10/2+1/2=11/2

so

volume=length times wieth times height

3/2 times 3/1 times 11/2=99/4=96/4+3/4=24+3/4

24 and 3/4 cubic meters
