Question

a gift has the dimensions shown .what is the volume of the gift box? the length is 14 1/4 the width is 9 1/4 and the height is 1 7/8 write your answer as a mixed number in simplest form

Answer 1

To find the volume of the gift box, we need to multiply the length, width, and height together.First, let's convert all the dimensions to improper fractions:

Length: 14 1/4 = 57/4,

Width: 9 1/4 = 37/4,

Height: 1 7/8 = 15/8

Now we can multiply them together:

57/4 * 37/4 * 15/8 = 31,635/128

To write this as a mixed number in simplest form, we need to divide the numerator by the denominator and express the result as a mixed number:

31,635/128 = 247 with remainder of 19

So, the volume of the gift box is 247 19/128
