Answer

The volume of the rectangular ice chest is $7\frac{7}{8}$ ft.

Work Step by Step

The volume of a rectangular prism is $V = l \times w \times h$, where $l$ is the length, $w$ is the width, and $h$ is the height. The dimensions of the rectangular ice chest are $3$ ft by $1\frac{1}{2}$ ft by $1\frac{3}{4}$ ft. $V = 3 \times 1\frac{1}{2} \times 1\frac{3}{4} = 7\frac{7}{8}$ The volume of the rectangular ice chest is $7\frac{7}{8}$ ft.
