The volume of a box is found by multiplying its length, width, and height. The three sides are 0.5 foot, 0.75 foot, and 0.4 foot. Find the product. Write it in scientific notation

Verified Answer :

(1/2)×(3/4)×(2/5)=5/40=1/8

as a decimal, this is .125
for scientific notation, you must move the decimal one place to the right, so the answer is

1.25×10^-1 ft^3

Answer: \(1.5\times10^{-1}\ ft^3\)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : The volume of a box is found by multiplying its length, width, and height.

If the three sides are 0.5 foot, 0.75 foot, and 0.4 foot.

Then, the product will be :

\(\text{Volume}=0.5\times0.75\times0.4\\\\=0.15=1.5\times10^{-1}\ ft^3\ \ \text{In scientific notation.}\)

Hence, the product =\(1.5\times10^{-1}\ ft^3\)
