A biologist uses a box-shaped fish trap that measures 1/4 meter by 2/3 meter by 3/5 meter. What is the volume of the trap in cubic meters?
To find the volume of a box-shaped fish trap, we have to multiply the three dimensions of it:
(1/4 m) (2/3 m) (3/5 m)
= (123)/ (435) m^(3)
= 6/ 60 m^(3)
= 1/10 m^(3)
= 0.1 m^(3)
The volume of the box-shaped fish trap is 0.1 m^(3).
Hope this is helpful~
