Tim knows the volume and base area of a wooden chest that is in the shape of a rectangular prism. If the volume is 5/24 cubic unit and the base area is 1/5 square unit, what is the height of the chest?
Given: Volume : 5/24 cubic unit Base Area : 1/5 square unit
Volume = L * W * H Base Area = L * W
Volume = Base Area * H
H = Volume / Base Area H = 5/24 cubic unit ÷ 1/5 square unit H = 5/24 cubic unit * 5/1 square unit H = 5*5 cubic unit / 24 * 1 square unit H = 25 unit / 24 unit H = 1 1/24 unit
