Question

he volume of a fish tank is 50 cubic feet. If the density is 0.2 fish over feet cubed, how many fish are in the tank?

Answer 1

There are 10 fish in the tank

Solution:

Given that, volume of a tank is 50 cubic feet

Density is 0.2 fish over feet cubed

To find: Number of fish in the tank

Number of fish in the tank is found by multiplying the volume of tank and density

The formula is given by:

$\text{Number of fish} = \tex{\text{volume of tank}} \times {\text{density of fish over feet cubed}}$

Substituting the given values, we get

$\text{Number of fish} = 50 ft^3 \times \frac{\text{ 0.2 fish}}{ft^3}\\\\ \text{Number of fish} = 50 \times 0.2 \text{ fish }\\\\ \text{Number of fish} = 10 \text{ fish }$

Thus there are 10 fish in the tank
