what does 1/3 mean in volume? READ ON...?

Question

what does 1/3 mean, on the volume of a pyramid? is it 1 divided by 3? or is it 1/3 as a fraction?

sorry here's the link! http://www.eyepleezers.com/aaamath/geo79_x6.htm

if you did'nt understand this I meant, when you multiply the area of the base and height do you have to multiply that by 1/3? 1/3 as a fraction. or as 1 divided by 3?

and where it says about the pyramid with a rectangular base, where it says height, is it refering too the height of the base or of the pyramid?

Answer 1

u hav to multiply by 1/3 as a fraction.

and where it says about the pyramid with a rectangular base, where it says height, it is referring to the height of the pyramid.

:)

Answer 2

It is 1/3 as a fraction of the pyramidal volume.

Answer 3

1 divided by 3 IS a fraction...one third. The volume is one third of the area of the base times the height.

Answer 4

this means that you can either multiply by 1/3 as a fraction or you can just divide by three. I would say, to make it easy for you, forget about the 1/3, compute the value of the other parameters and then divide by three, and there goes your answer.

Answer 5

the fraction 1/3 is the notation of 1 divided by 3 so I am not sure I understand your question since both meanings are the same...

Answer 6

I liked Tenshi Ja Nai. It was sweet and funny, just don't expect much in the way of believability. I didn't care for Sensual Phrase, and in fact, I actually stopped in the middle, which I don't usually do. It started out good, or promising at least, but started to get pretty predicable and, well...I hate to say it, but kinda ridiculous after a while. I understand that some people really like it, though, so I guess it's just a matter of taste. You should try Vampire Knight. It's really good, and volume 4 is about to come out. ^_^

Answer 8

One third ( the fraction) is the same as one divided by three.
