Question

A box has dimensions of 14 inches long, 1.5 feet wide, and 7 inches high. What is the volume of the box? The formula for the volume is
V = l ⋅ w ⋅ h.

1.02 cubic inches (in3)
12.25 cubic inches (in3)
147 cubic inches (in3)
1764 cubic inches (in3)

Answer 1

I got 147 but wanted to check.

Answer 2

First you have to convert some things. So there are two measurement that are given in inches and one in feet. So you need to convert 1.5 ft into inches. So you would do, 1.5 times 12 and you would get 18 inches. Then you would use the formula for finding volume. V= L time W times H, so it would look like:\[V=L \times W \times H\]\[V=18 \times 14 \times 7 = 1764\] It seems like you did not convert the feet into inches and that would be your mistake. I hope this helped!
