document.write( "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. \n" ); document.write( "

(55/16)(15/8)(5/4)=4125/512=8.057 in^3 \n" ); document.write( "- \n" ); document.write( "another way \n" ); document.write( "7/16=0.4375 \n" ); document.write( "so 3.4375*1.875*1.25=8.057 in^3 \n" ); document.write( "- \n" ); document.write( "Find out how much rice fits in 1 in^3. \n" ); document.write( "Find out how much rice fits in the box and compare. \n" ); document.write( "With calculators, the first two ways would be a lot faster. \n" ); document.write( "- \n" ); document.write( "One can estimate: 1.25*2*3.25, rounding one fraction up and the other down. \n" ); document.write( "8.25 in^3. \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( " |
