Present Box (Find the volume of a rectangular prism with fractional edge lengths)

In this video tutorial, Kathy needs to determine if the box she bought is large enough to ship a gift to her brother. The box's dimensions are given as fractions of a foot. The video explains how to calculate the volume of a rectangular prism using the formula: volume equals length times width times height. By multiplying the given fractional dimensions, the volume is calculated to be 1/16 cubic feet. The tutorial concludes by confirming that the box is suitable for shipping the gift and summarizes the lesson on calculating the volume of a rectangular prism with fractional edge lengths.

What are the dimensions of the box Kathy is using to ship her gift?

• 1/2 foot by 1/3 foot by 1/4 foot

• 3/4 foot by 1/2 foot by 1/6 foot

• 1 foot by 1 foot by 1 foot

• 2/3 foot by 1/2 foot by 1/4 foot

Which formula is used to find the volume of a rectangular prism?

• Length minus width minus height

• Length plus width plus height

• Length times width times height

• Length divided by width divided by height

How do you multiply fractions to find the volume of the box?

• Add the numerators and denominators

• Multiply the numerators and add the denominators

• Multiply the numerators and multiply the denominators

• Subtract the numerators and denominators

What is the calculated volume of Kathy's box?

• 1/8 feet cubed

• 1/12 feet cubed

• 1/16 feet cubed

• 1/24 feet cubed

Why is the box suitable for shipping Kathy's gift?

• It is larger than the gift

• It is the wrong shape for the gift

• It is exactly the size of the gift

• It is smaller than the gift
