Find the volume of a rectangular parallelepiped with a length of 7.4 dm, a width of 3.7 times

Find the volume of a rectangular parallelepiped with a length of 7.4 dm, a width of 3.7 times less than its length, and a height of 1.5 m. What is the volume?

Let us determine the width of the indicated parallelepiped, knowing by the condition of the problem that the length of this parallelepiped is 3.7 times greater:

7.4 / 3.7 = 2.

Let us bring the data under the conditions of the problem to a single unit of measurement – decimeters, knowing that, by definition, one meter contains 10 decimeters:

1.5 * 10 = 15.

Let us determine the volume of the indicated rectangular parallelepiped, knowing that it is, by definition, equal to the product of its three dimensions:

7.4 * 2 * 15 = 222.

Answer: The volume of the indicated parallelepiped is 222 dm2.
