Jordan is mailing a package at the post office. The box measures 8 3/4 inches long, 2 1/2 inches wide, and 5 1/4 inches high. What is the volume of his box?

Well the first step would be to change each fraction into an improper fraction

8 3/4 = 35/4, 2 1/2 = 5/2 or 10/4, and 5 1/4 = 21/4

Now multiply 35/4 by 10/4 and you get 350/16 but in simplest form it would be 175/8. Multiply that by 21/4 and you get 3,675/32 and change that into a mixed number. The answer would be 114 27/32
