12 inches go into one foot, so we can calculate the volume of the tank in inches to make the calculations that follow easier. Therefore, to calculate the volume of the tank, we use length x breadth x height = 4 x 2 x 2 = 16 square feet x 12 for square inches = 192 square inches.
Every 12 square inches Joseph can fit a one inch fish. The fish that he has are 3 inches long, therefore he can only fit one fish every 36 square inches.
That means that if we take the total volume of the tank and divide it by the space that a 3 inch fish will take up, we are left with 192/36 = 5.3 fish.
You cannot have a third of a fish, so we round off to the nearest whole number, and we determine that Joseph can put 5 fish in his new aquarium.
One root belonged to an old tree next to the road, and the other is part of a small tree.

Answer: Each bow needs 4.67 yards of ribbon.
Step-by-step explanation:
We know that each roll has 20 yd.
She used 3 + 1/2 rolls, then the total length used will be (3 + 1/2) times the length of each roll, this is:
(3 + 1/2)*20 yd = (6/2 + 1/2)*20yd = (7/2)*20yd = 70 yd.
With tose 70 yards of ribbon, she made 15 bows, then the length of ribbon used in each bow will be equal to the quotient between the total length used and the number of ribbons made with it, this is:
70yd/15 = 4.67 yards
Each bow needs 4.67 yards of ribbon.
