Solve the problem. Use π = 3.14 when necessary. At $4.50 per m3, how much will it cost to fill an ice chest with dimensions of 3 2/3m * 7m* 3 1/3m? Round to the nearest cent. A. $385.00 B. $201.67 C. $350.00 D. $808.50 will give medals help

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok we will break it down into steps, if you are just looking for the answer I can't do that

OpenStudy (anonymous):

im trying to find the answer like how to get it

OpenStudy (anonymous):

?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok. first break it down

OpenStudy (mathmale):

@letsparty: thank you.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

if 3 m's =4.50 then divide it

OpenStudy (anonymous):

you need to figure out what m='s befor you can go on

OpenStudy (anonymous):

it don't say

OpenStudy (mathmale):

Hey, you two: You need to find the volume of the ice chest first.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

don't you need to find M first?

OpenStudy (mathmale):

an ice chest with dimensions of 3 2/3m * 7m* 3 1/3m has what volume? Volume of a rectangular shape = Length*Width*Height

OpenStudy (mathmale):

No. "m" is a unit of measurement: the "meter." 1 meter is about 39 inches. Supposing that the dimensions of the chest were 3 by 7 by 3: The volume would be the product of those three numbers: 3*7*3=63 cubic meters.

OpenStudy (mathmale):

Your job is to multiply out: 3 2/3m * 7m* 3 1/3m

OpenStudy (mathmale):

@tori22-1991: what's the first thing to do?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

multiple the mixed number

OpenStudy (mathmale):

Multiply. Yes. And before that, convert each mixed number to an improper fraction. For example: 3 2/3 m converts to 11/3 m. Convert the other two mixed numbers, please.
