Question

A rectangular aquarium 3 ft. x 2 ft. 1 ft. is 2/3 full of water. In cubic feet, how much water is in the tank

Answer 1

To find the volume of a rectangular prism, we must multiply the length * width * height.

In this case,

Volume = 3 ft * 2 ft * 1 ft

= 6 ft^3

Because this tank is 2/3 full with water, to find out how much water is in the tank, we must multiply 2/3 by the total volume of the tank (6 ft^3).

2/3 * 6 ft^3 = 4 ft^3

This means that there are 4 cubic feet of water in the tank.

Hope this helps!
