Question

A The number of tropical fish that an aquarium can hold depends on the volume of the fish tank. The interior dimensions of a fish tank are 30 cm, 90 cm, and 70 cm. Each fish requires 27000 cubic centimeters of water. How many tropical fish will this fish tank hold?
a. 8
b. 6
c. 9
d. 7

Answer 1

Answer:

7

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to first of all find the volume of the fish tank. The most probable shape the ship tank can have is that of a cuboid.

The volume of a cuboid is l * b * h

And this is equals 30cm * 70cm * 90cm = 189,000 cubic centimeters

The number of fish the tank can contain can be obtained by dividing the volume by the volume occupied by a single fish.

This is 189,000/27000 = 7
