Hi!

For this question, you want to find the volume of each aquarium. To find volume, just multiply all the dimensions dogether.

For the small aquarium: 3 * 1.5 * 2 = 9 feet cubed

For the large aquarium: 6 * 3 * 4 = 72 feet cubed

Therefore, no, he is not correct, as the large aquarium holds 8 times as much water as the small one. Option D is correct.

If you would like a faster way to do this, if you look at the two dimensions, you'll see each dimension for the large aquarium is two times the respective dimensions of the small one. Since there are three dimensions, and each is two times larger, you can just do 2 * 2 * 2 to get 8 times, as the dimensions are all multiplied with one another.

Hope this helped!

Answer:

D) No, the large tank holds 8 times as much water as the small tank.

Step-by-step explanation:

The dimensions of small aquarium is 3 feet by 1.5 feet by 2 feet.

Its volume is :

3\times1.5\times2=9 cubic feet.

The dimensions of the large aquarium is 6 feet by 3 feet by 4 feet.

Its volume is :

6\times3\times4=72 cubic feet.

Larger tank holds \frac{72}{9} = 8 times the volume of smaller tank.

Jared tells the customer that the large tank holds twice as much water as the small tank.

No, Jared is not correct because the large tank holds 8 times as much water as the small tank.

12/60 in lowest terms
Luda [366]
Fractions can be simplified by making sure that the numerator and the denominator cannot be divided by any number.

The given 12/60 is very obvious that it is divisible by 2.
After dividing by 2, you will get 6/30.
It seems it is not in simplest form. It is divisible by 3.
Dividing the numerator and denominator by 3 then you will get 
2/15.

So the lowest term is 2/15.

The price per gallon of gasoline changes often. Most drivers pay close attention to those changes. Find the percent change in pr
Jlenok [28]
A) The amount of change is .20 (20 cents) so we need to find what percent of $4.00 is .20...
4 * x = .20
x = .20/4 = .05

Multiply by 100 (move decimal 2 places to the right) to change decimal to percent.

.05 = 5% increase

b)The increase is .75.  What percent of 3.00 is .75

3 * x = .75
x = .75/3
x = .25 x 100 = 25% increase

c) The amount of change is .75 but this time we are going from 3.75 to 3.00 so we find out what percent .75 is of 3.75.

3.75 * x = .75
x = .75/3.75
x = .20 x 100 = 20% decrease
