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