Question 389773
volume of a rectangular prism is

{{{V = a b c}}}

 given: 

a lenght of {{{a=1.. yard }}}

width of {{{b=8.. inches}}} and 

height of {{{c=1.. foot}}}


Be sure to use the same units for all measurements. You cannot multiply feet times inches times yards, it doesn't make a perfectly cubed measurement. 


let's take ft as measurements:

1 Inch = 0.08333333333 Feet

so, {{{8in = 0.66666666664ft}}}is the same as {{{(2/3) feet}}} 

{{{1yard =3ft }}}


{{{V = a b c}}}

{{{V = (2/3) ft *(3ft) * (1ft)}}}

{{{V = 2 ft^3}}}
