6th Grade Math - Find the Volume of a Right Rectangular Prism with Fractional Edge Lengths: CCSS.Math.Content.6.G.A.2

A large crate in the shape of a rectangular prism has dimensions 5 feet by 4 feet by 12 feet. Give its volume in cubic yards.

$8 \frac{8}{9 } \textrm{ yd}^{3}$

$7 \frac{2}{9 } \textrm{ yd}^{3}$

$10 \textrm{ yd}^{3}$

$80 \textrm{ yd}^{3}$

$90\textrm{ yd}^{3}$

Explanation

Divide each dimension by 3 to convert feet to yards, then multiply the three dimensions together:

$V = \frac{5}{3} \cdot \frac{4}{3} \cdot \frac{12}{3}$

$V = \frac{5}{3} \cdot \frac{4}{3} \cdot \frac{4}{1}$

$V = \frac{80}{9 } = 8 \frac{8}{9 } \textrm{ yd}^{3}$
