Answer 1

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
