Answer:
[tex]40\frac{5}{8}[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
The formula for the volume of a rectangular prism is V = l · w · h. We can use this to solve.
1. Convert all mixed numbers into improper fractions:
[tex]6\frac{1}{2} =\frac{13}{2}[/tex]
[tex]2\frac{1}{2} =\frac{5}{2}[/tex]
2. Plug in given values:
V = [tex]\frac{13}{2} (\frac{5}{2} )(\frac{5}{2} )[/tex]
3. Multiply:
V = [tex]\frac{65}{4} (\frac{5}{2} )[/tex]
V = [tex]\frac{325}{8}[/tex]
4. Convert improper fraction into a mixed number:
[tex]\frac{325}{8}[/tex] = [tex]40\frac{5}{8}[/tex]
V = [tex]40\frac{5}{8}[/tex]
hope this helps :)
