Answer:

V = 36 1/4 in.^3

Step-by-step explanation:

V = LWH

L = 3 5/8 in.

W = 2 1/2 in.

H = 4 in.

V = (3 5/8)(2 1/2)(4) in.^3

Change the mixed numerals to fractions.

To change the mixed numeral a b/c to a fraction, do this:

a b/c = (ac + b)/c

V = (3 * 8 + 5)/8 * (2 * 2 + 1)/2 * 4/1

V = (24 + 5)/8 * (4 + 1)/2 * 4/1

V = 29/8 * 5/2 * 4/1 in.^3

V = 580/16 in.^3

V = 145/4 in.^3

V = 36 1/4 in.^3
