To find the volume of the fish tank, you use the formula for volume of a rectangular prism, which is V = l x w x h, where l is the length, w is the width, and h is the height.

Plugging in the given dimensions:
V = 36 1/2 x 12 3/4 x 18 1/2
V = 73/2 x 51/4 x 37/2
V = 3747/4 in^3
V = 936 3/4 in^3

Therefore, the volume of the fish tank is approximately 936 3/4 in^3, which can be simplified to 234 3/4 in^3.

Therefore, the closest answer choice is:

A. 235 7/8 in^3
