Answer:
18 ft^3
Step-by-step explanation:
The volume of a right rectangular prism is the area of the base multiplied by the height.
V = Ah
V = (5 5/8 ft^2) * (3 1/5 ft)
First, we convert the mixed numerals into fractions.
V = 45/8 ft^2 * 16/5 ft
Now we multiply the fractions.
V = (45 * 16)/(8 * 5) ft^3
Factor 45 into 5 * 9. Factor 16 into 2 * 8.
V = (5 * 9 * 2 * 8)/(8 * 5) ft^3
We can divide the numerator and denominator by 5 and by 8 before doing the multiplications.
V = (9 * 2)/1 ft^3
V = 18 ft^3
