19/3*19/5*9/2=3249/30 cu in
\n" ); document.write( "=108 3/10 cu in total
\n" ); document.write( "3249/30*3.40=$368.22
\n" ); document.write( "Your working to hard, you need improper fractions to multiply, but no need for common denominators in multiplcaton.
\n" ); document.write( "Also to find cubic measurments, multiply not add.
