A sandbox is 1 1/3 feet tall, 1 5/8 feet wide, and4 1/2 feet long. How many cubic feet of sand will it hold

Volume (sandbox) = long x wide x tall

long=4 1/2 ft = (4+1/2) ft = (8+1) / 2 ft=9/2 ft

wide=1 5/8 ft = (1+5/8) ft = (8+5) / 8 ft=13/8 ft

tall=1 1/2 ft = (1+1/2) ft = (2+1) / 2 ft=3/2 ft

Volume=9/2 ft * 13/8 ft * 3/2 ft = (9*13*3) / (2*8*2) ft=351/32 ft³

351/32 ft³ = (10*32 + 31) / 32 ft³=10 + 31/32 ft³=10 31/32 ft³.

Answer:351/32 ft³ or 10 31/32 ft³

Volume=legnth times width times height

convert all to iimporper fractions first for ease

1 and 1/3=1+1/3=3/3+1/3=4/3

1 and 5/8=1+5/8=8/8+5/8=13/8

4 and 1/2=4+1/2=8/2+1/2=9/2

multiply them

volume = (4/3) times (13/8) times (9/2)

volume = (4 times 13 times 9) / (3 times 8 times 2)

volume=468/48

volume=39/4

volume=9 and 3/4 cubic feet
