Exploring Volume with Rational Lengths

What defines a rational number?

• A number that is irrational

• A number that only includes whole numbers

• A number that cannot be expressed as a fraction

• Volume = length + width + height

• Volume = length * width * height

How do you handle decimals when multiplying for volume?

• Round them to the nearest whole number

• Ignore the decimal point until the final step

• Convert them to fractions

• Multiply them as they are without any adjustments
