Question 1172466: I have a box that I will be using to make a silicon mold. I need to find the liquid volume it will hold. The measurements of the box are Length 3"-7/16th Width 1" 7/8s and the Depth is 1" 1/4.. I have also heard that there is a way to find the volume using Rice. I would like to know how to do that if possible. I believe that would be the easiest for me but any help would be greatly appreciated.

(55/16)(15/8)(5/4)=4125/512=8.057 in^3

another way
7/16=0.4375
so 3.4375*1.875*1.25=8.057 in^3
-
Find out how much rice fits in 1 in^3.
Find out how much rice fits in the box and compare.
With calculators, the first two ways would be a lot faster.

One can estimate: 1.25*2*3.25, rounding one fraction up and the other down.
8.25 in^3.
