volume : 7.5 cm²

  • volume of cube : length * width *  height

[tex]\hookrightarrow \sf Length \ * Width \ * \ Height[/tex]

[tex]\hookrightarrow \sf 2 \ * 1\dfrac{1}{4} \ * \ 3[/tex]

[tex]\hookrightarrow \sf 2 \ * \dfrac{5}{4} \ * \ 3[/tex]

[tex]\hookrightarrow \sf \dfrac{15}{2}[/tex]

[tex]\hookrightarrow \sf 7.5 \ cm^2[/tex]

Answer:

[tex]\sf volume=7 \frac12 \ cm^3[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Formula

volume of cuboid = length × width × height

Given dimensions of the ice cube:

  • length = 2 cm
  • width = 1 1/4 cm
  • height = 3cm

Substituting the given values into the formula:

[tex]\sf \implies volume=2\times 1 \frac14 \times 3[/tex]

Converting to improper fractions:

[tex]\sf \implies volume=\dfrac21\times \dfrac54 \times \dfrac31[/tex]

                  [tex]\sf =\dfrac{ 2\times 5 \times 3}{1 \times 4 \times 1}[/tex]

                  [tex]\sf =\dfrac{30}{4}[/tex]

Dividing the numerator and denominator by the highest common factor:

[tex]\sf \implies volume=\dfrac{30 \div 2}{4 \div 2}[/tex]

                  [tex]\sf =\dfrac{15}{2}[/tex]

Converting the improper fraction into a mixed number:

[tex]\sf \implies volume=7 \frac12 \ cm^3[/tex]
