Evan places a rectangular birdbath in his garden. The dimensions are 24, 8, and

1 1/2 in. Explain how to find the maximum amount of water the birdbath can hold. Then find the amount.

Sample Response: Volume is the amount of space inside a solid. So, to find the amount of water the birdbath can hold, find the volume. Multiply length, width, and height: V = (24) (8) (1½) = 288. So, the birdbath can hold a maximum of 288 cubic inches of water.

The volume is 28

Step-by-step explanation:

V = (24) x (8) x (1½) = 28 cubic inches
