You are designing a large, rectangular fish tank for your tropical fish. The length will be 1 yard 3 inches, the width will be 1.5 feet, and the height will be 20 inches. Part A (1 point) Find the Volume of the total length
Part B Your math teacher tells you that your fish tank will have a capacity of about 976 cups. You have a total of 30 tropical fish. For them to flourish in a fish tank, there needs to be an average of 2 gallons of water for each fish
Convert 976 cups to gallons.
Part A:
Length = 1 yard 3 inches = 39 inches
Volume = Length x Width x Height
Volume = 39 inches x 18 inches x 20 inches = 14,040 cubic inches
Part B:
1 gallon = 16 cups
976 cups / 16 cups = 61 gallons
Each fish needs 2 gallons, so for 30 fish:
30 fish x 2 gallons/fish = 60 gallons needed
Since the tank can hold 61 gallons, it is enough for the 30 fish.
