A rectangular prism is 6 inches long and 4 inches high. Its volume is 312 cubic inches. What is the width of the rectangular prism?
+2972 All you really have to do is do 312 divided by 6, and divide again by 4
width=volume/length/height (the order for length and height don't matter, and it's the same thing for length and width, like length=volume/height/width, height=volume/width/length, for volume=length*width*height)
312÷6÷4=13
to check work, multiply length times width times height to get volume, in this case the volume should be 312 if the width was founded correctly
13x6x4=312
the width of this rectangular prism is 13 inches
