Question

find the volume of the rectangular prism. 2 in. $\frac{2}{3}$ in. $\frac{3}{5}$ in. write your answer as a whole number, a proper fraction, or a mixed number. cubic inches

Explanation:

Step1: Recall volume formula

The volume formula for a rectangular prism is $V = l\times w\times h$, where $l$ is length, $w$ is width and $h$ is height.

Step2: Identify dimensions

Here, $l=\frac{3}{5}$ in, $w = \frac{2}{3}$ in and $h = 2$ in.

Step3: Calculate volume

$V=\frac{3}{5}\times\frac{2}{3}\times2$. First, $\frac{3}{5}\times\frac{2}{3}=\frac{3\times2}{5\times3}=\frac{6}{15}=\frac{2}{5}$. Then, $\frac{2}{5}\times2=\frac{2\times2}{5}=\frac{4}{5}$ cubic - inches.

Answer:

$\frac{4}{5}$
