jordan is mailing a package at the post office .The box measures 8 3/4 inches long ,2 6/7 inches wide and 5 inches high.What is the volume of his box?
Answer:
125 cubic. inches
Step-by-step explanation:
Convert mix numbers like 8 3/4 to 35/4 x 20/7, and 20/7 came from 2 6/7 converted to improper fraction.
Now 35/4 x 20/7 = 700/28, now need to multiply 5/1 which is from 5 inches high.
Now 700/28 x 5/1 = 125 cubic. inches.
