Question
A pool in the shape of a rectangular prism is being filled with water. The length and width of the pool is 24 feet and 15 feet. If the height of the water in the pool is $1 \frac{1}{3}$ feet, what is the volume of the water in cubic feet?
Step 1
We do this by multiplying the whole number by the denominator and adding the numerator. So, $1 \frac{1}{3} = 1*3 + 1 = 4/3$. Show more…
