The total number of fish bought was 320. And you know she bought two types of fish. The best way to solve this is guess and check. It would be the fastest. So she bought 7 times as many trigger-fish as parrot fish that means the number of trigger-fish bought was 7p. This means 320 = 7p +p. So all you do is take educated guesses for the number of parrot fish and check if it is right. So if she bought 50 parrot fish. 7(50) + 50 = 400. Close but a bit high. Lets keep guessing. 7(35) + 35 = 245. So now we know the answer is between 50 and 35. So lets try 40. 7(40) + 40 =320. That works so we know she bought 40 parrot fish and 280 trigger-fish.
Let us solve for the total area. In this problem, we solve area 1 (the rectangle in the middle) and the area 2 ( the two half circle on the sides).
Solve for area 1:
Area rec = L * W = 5units * 4 units = 20 squared units
Solve for area 2:
Area cir = pi *r² = 3.14 * (2 units)² = 12.56 squared units
Total area = 20 + 12.56 = 32.56 foot²
Total cost = 32.56 foot² * ($23/foot²) = $ 748.88
Total cost is $748.88.
5,270 is 5,267.82 rounded to the nearest ten

Answer: 8/35 is the exact answer as a fraction; approximately that is equal to 0.22857 (rounded to 5 decimal places)
Work Shown:
The volume of this prism is equal to the length times width times height. We multiply the three fractions out. To do this, multiply straight across. The numerators group up and multiply. The denominators form a separate group to multiply.
Multiply the numbers up top (numerators): 2*3*4 = 6*4 = 24
Multiply the numbers in the bottom (denominators): 3*5*7 = 15*7 = 105
We end up with 24/105. We can divide both numbers by 3 to reduce the fraction (note how 3 is a factor of each multiplication above)
24/3 = 8
105/3 = 35
So that's how I got 8/35
If you want to convert to decimal form, then 8/35 = 0.22857 approximately.
