Same method as that first question. Find the dimensions by counting cubes along the length, width, and hieght
OpenStudy (studygurl14):
height*
OpenStudy (truwhovian11):
3/16 cubic inches
7/4 cubic inches
3 cubic inches
12 cubic inches

It says each cube is 1/4 of an inch, so first you have to divide the dimensions by 4
OpenStudy (studygurl14):
so what are the new dimensions after that?
OpenStudy (truwhovian11):
0h ok
OpenStudy (truwhovian11):
is it 3
OpenStudy (studygurl14):
3\(\div\) 4 = ?
2\(\div\) 4 = ?

3/4=1r1
2/4=2 sorry i took so long had 2 go
OpenStudy (studygurl14):
Those answers are incorrect. 3/4 = 0.75, 2/4 = 0.5
OpenStudy (truwhovian11):
ok
OpenStudy (studygurl14):
So the new dimenstions are 0.75 x 0.5 x 0.5. So what's the volume?
OpenStudy (truwhovian11):
is it 6.75 ??????

No. How'd you get that?
OpenStudy (truwhovian11):
idk i suck at math
OpenStudy (studygurl14):
Another way to do it is \(\large\frac{3}{4}\times\frac{1}{2}\times\frac{1}{2}\)
OpenStudy (studygurl14):
That might be easier.
OpenStudy (studygurl14):
And no, you don't suck
