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
Find the volume of the fish tank in cubic inches.

The volume is
cubic inches.

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.

976 cups equals
gallons.

Answer:

  A. 14040 cubic inches

  B. 61 gallons

Step-by-step explanation:

The volume of a cuboid is given by the formula ...

  V = LWH

__

<h3>A.</h3>

One yard is 36 inches, so 1 yard 3 inches is 36 +3 = 39 inches.

One foot is 12 inches, so 1.5 ft = 1.5×12 = 18 inches.

The volume of the fish tank is ...

  V = (39 in)(18 in)(20 in) = 14,040 in³

The volume is 14,040 cubic inches.

__

<h3>B.</h3>

One gallon is 16 cups, so 976 cups is 976/16 = 61 gallons.

976 cups equals 61 gallons.

_____

<em>Additional comment</em>

One gallon is 231 cubic inches, so the volume of the tank is actually about 972 cups, or 60.8 gallons.

irga5000 [103]

Answer:

The interval that represents the middle 68% of her commute times is between 33.5 and 42.5 minutes.

Step-by-step explanation:

The Empirical Rule states that, for a normally distributed random variable:

Approximately 68% of the measures are within 1 standard deviation of the mean.

Approximately 95% of the measures are within 2 standard deviations of the mean.

Approximately 99.7% of the measures are within 3 standard deviations of the mean.

In this problem, we have that:

Mean of 38 minutes, standard deviation of 4.5 minutes.

Determine the interval that represents the middle 68% of her commute times.

Within 1 standard deviation of the mean. So

38 - 4.5 = 33.5 minutes

38 + 4.5 = 42.5 minutes.

The interval that represents the middle 68% of her commute times is between 33.5 and 42.5 minutes.
