OpenStudy (studygurl14):

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

OpenStudy (truwhovian11):

3 length,2 hight,2 width

@StudyGurl14

OpenStudy (studygurl14):

yes, nice. just multiply those now

OpenStudy (studygurl14):

Wait, hold on

OpenStudy (truwhovian11):

is the answer 12

OpenStudy (studygurl14):

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 = ?

OpenStudy (truwhovian11):

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 ??????

OpenStudy (studygurl14):

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

OpenStudy (truwhovian11):

is it 3/16

OpenStudy (studygurl14):

yes

OpenStudy (truwhovian11):

thx

OpenStudy (truwhovian11):

aw man my session timed out

OpenStudy (studygurl14):

:p

OpenStudy (truwhovian11):
