a rectangular tank is 14 feet 2 inches long, 25 feet 10 inches wide, and 3 feet 10 inches high. what is the volume of the tank in cubic feet. answer to the nearest cubic foot.

..

Volume=length*width*height
Change data to inches to avoid decimals. (Easily done with a calculator)
ft=12in
14ft 2in=170 in
25ft 10in=310 in
3ft 10in=46 in
..
volume=310*170*46=2424200 in^3
convert to cubic feet,
ft^3=12*12*12=1728 in^3
2424200 in^3*ft/1728 in^3=1402.89 ft^3</PRE>
