Zach keeps his pet chameleon Pinky in a terrarium with the dimensions 8 x 20. There are three inches of sand in the bottom of th
e terrarium. Zach gets a new terrarium that is larger. The base of the new terrarium is 10 x 24 inches. Zach moved the existing sand to the new terrarium. How deep will the sand be in the new terrarium?
Step 1 find the volume of sand volume of sand=8*20*3------------>Volume of sand=480 in³
Volume of sand in the new terrarium=10*24*h where h------------> is the <span>deep in the new terrarium </span>remember that the volume of sand is the same so 10*24*h=480----------> h=480/(10*24)-----------> h=2 in
