Answer:

  8 11/20 ft³

Step-by-step explanation:

For dilated figures, the ratio of volumes is the cube of the ratio of corresponding linear dimensions.

  Vn/Vm = (Hn/Hm)³

  Vn = Vm(Hn/Hm)³ = (68 2/5 ft³)((2 3/8 ft)/(4 3/4 ft))³

  Vn = (342/5 ft³)((19/8)/(19/4))³ = (342/5 ft³)(1/2)³ = 342/40 ft³

  Vn = 8 11/20 ft³

The volume of Prism N is 8 11/20 ft³.

Answer:

The answer is 8 11/20.
