A:
First we need to convert our fractions into decimals, it's just a lot easier to work with. 2 1/2 is equal to 2.5 2 1/4 is equal to 2.25 Then we plug our numbers into the formula used to find the volume of a rectangle: V=L*W*H Volume equals Length times Width times Height. V=2.5*4*2.25 V=22.5 22.5 is already in decimal form, or if you'd rather have a mixed number, your answer is 22 [tex] \frac{1}{2} [/tex]
