Answer:
162.5 or 162 and a half gallons
Step-by-step explanation:
According to the question, Samantha has a rectangular shaped fish tank in her room the tank has a height of 2.6 feet, a width of 2.1 feet and a length of 3.98 feet.
We are now told to find out the amount of water the fish tank can hold.
When it comes to filling a rectangular tank, we need to know the dimensions of the tank(it's length,width and height)
Here the volume of the tank will be
Lenght× Width × Height
= 2.6 ×2.1 ×3.98
=21.7308
Convert the volume in cubic feet to the capacity in
gallons. Multiply the tank’s volume by 7.48, the
number of gallons in a cubic foot. For example,
104.625x7.48 = 782.6 gallons.
So here the conversion to number of gallons will be
21.7308 × 7.48 = 162.5 or 162 and a half gallons will fill the fish tank
