maybe ask 1 question at a time.

OpenStudy (nottim):

but a) Simply find the volume of the rectangular prism. b) multiply 1 cup volume by 15. c)draw a diagram.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@NotTim the formula for volume V=l*W*H am I correct.

OpenStudy (nottim):

Yes, that is correct. for a rectangular prism or square.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so because 1cup=14.44cubic inches would I have to multiple or divide 15 to 14.44? @NotTim

OpenStudy (nottim):

What do you think?

OpenStudy (nottim):

ill tell you if you're right.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i would multiply @NotTim

OpenStudy (nottim):

OpenStudy (anonymous):
