What is the volume of the box pictured below?

The volume of the box is 3/4 cubic meters.

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that volume = length * width * height. We have length, width, and height already, so all we have to do is multiply.

5/6 * 1 1/8 * 4/5. First we convert 1 1/8 from a mixed fraction, to give us 9/8, as 8/8 = 1.

5/6 * 9/8 * 4/5. 5 * 9 = 45, and 6 * 8 = 48. 45/48 reduces to 15/16.

15/16 * 4/5. 15 * 4 = 60, and 16 * 5 = 80. 60/80 reduces to 6/8, which reduces to 3/4.

step-by-step explanation:

starting with:    

5 + x - 12 = 2x - 7   

5 + x - 12 - x = 2x - 7 - x (subtract x from both sides)   

5 - 12 = x - 7 (combine and cancel x's from both sides)   

5 - 12 + 7 = x - 7 + 7 (add 7 to both sides)   

0 = x (add numbers together on both sides)       

so in order for the equation to be true, x must be 0.   

trying x = -0.5   

5 + x - 12 = 2x - 7 (original equation)   

5 + -0.5 - 12 = 2(-0.5) - 7 (plug in value of x)   

5 + -0.5 - 12 = -1 - 7 (did multiplication)   

-7.5 = -8 (did addition on both sides)       

since -7.5 is obviously not equal to -8, the value of -0.5 for x is wrong.   

trying x = 0   

5 + x - 12 = 2x - 7 (original equation)   

5 + 0 - 12 = 2(0) - 7 (plug in value of x)   

5 + 0 - 12 = 0 - 7 (did multiplication)   

-7 = -7 (did addition on both sides)       

since -7 equals -7, that demonstrates that the value of 0 for x is correct.   

trying x = 1   

5 + x - 12 = 2x - 7 (original equation)   

5 + 1 - 12 = 2(1) - 7 (plug in value of x)   

5 + 1 - 12 = 2 - 7 (did multiplication)   

-6 = -5 (did addition on both sides)       

since -6 is obviously not equal to -5, the value of 1 for x is wrong.
