Answer: 14 2/3
This is the same as saying [tex]14\frac{2}{3}[/tex] which is the mixed number 14 and 2/3
whole part = 14
fractional part = 2/3
==================================================
Explanation:
To find the volume of a prism, we multiply the base area by the height.
The base area is shown in green as 7 1/3 square units.
This multiplies with the height 2 to get
2*(7 1/3) = 2*(7 + 1/3) = 2*(7) + 2*(1/3) = 14 + 2/3 = 14 2/3
As alternative notation, you can write 14 2/3 as 14 & 2/3.
Or you could write [tex]14 \frac{2}{3}[/tex]. Keep in mind that this does not mean 14 times 2/3.
