a. What is the approximate volume of the small truck?

Volume of the small truck = 554.54 cubic ft
Solution:
Given data:
Length of the small truck = [tex]11\frac{1}{13}[/tex] ft
Width of the small truck = [tex]7\frac{5}{12}[/tex] ft
Height of the small truck = [tex]6\frac{3}{4}[/tex] ft
Volume of the small truck = length × width × height
[tex]$=11\frac{1}{13}\times7\frac{5}{12}\times 6\frac{3}{4}[/tex]
Let us change the mixed fraction into improper fraction.
[tex]$=\frac{11\times 13 + 1}{13}\times\frac{7 \times 12 + 5}{12}\times \frac{6 \times 4 + 3}{4}[/tex]
[tex]$=\frac{144}{13}\times\frac{89}{12}\times \frac{27}{4}[/tex]
[tex]$=\frac{7209}{13}[/tex]
= 554. 54 cubic ft
Volume of the small truck = 554.54 cubic ft
