see the explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

The complete question is

Explain how you found the volume of water in the fish tank if it was only 1/2 full with water. Show your work and solution. Don't forget your UNITS!

You have a fish tank with the following dimensions:

Height: 3 feet

Width: 1.5 feet

Length: 2 feet

step 1

Find the volume of the fish tank

The volume of a rectangular prism ( fish tank) is equal to

$V=LWH$

substitute the given values

$V=(2)(1.5)(3)=9\ ft^3$

step 2

Find the volume of water in the fish tank

Remember that

The fish tank it was only one and a half full with water

so

Multiply the volume of the fish tank by one and a half to obtain the volume of water

$\frac{1}{2}(9)=4.5\ ft^3$
