a bathtub in the shape of a rectangular prism is 5 feet long 3 1/2 feet wide and 4 1/4 feet high.How much water could the tub hold

Answer 1

Volume = height * width * depth.

Convert your feet measurements to improper fractions:

V = 5 * 7/2 * 17/4

V = (35*17)/8 = 595/8 cubic feet.

Now convert back to a mixed number:

V = 74 3/8 cubic feet.
