Question

An art class is making paperweights out of plaster. They use a mold in the shape of a rectangular prism. (2 1/4m, 2 1/2m, and 1 3/4m represents the size of the prism)
How much plaster will it take to completely fill the mold?

Answer 1

V=w•h•l
w=2 1/2=5/2=2.5 m
h=1 3/4=7/4=1.75 m
l= 2 1/4=9/4=2.25 m
V= 2.5 •1.75 •2.25
V=9.84 m^3
