a.
Step-by-step explanation:
Step-by-step explanation:
33/4=8.25
-21/2= -10.5
8.25÷-10.5=0.785
Since it is about only the outer part of the aquarium which is made of glasses we need to calculate the total surface area.
Surface area of the base = 4*3 = 12 square feet
Surface area of the shorter length of wall = 3*2 = 6 square feet
since it has another wall in opposite side. It has to be multiplied with 2.
6*2 = 12 square feet
Surface area of the longer length of wall = 4*2 = 8 square feet
since it has another wall in opposite side. It has to be multiplied with 2.
8*2 = 16 square feet
Therefore the total surface area that need to be covered with glasses
12+12+16 = 40 square feet
There are 12 inches in a foot so we can work this problem out in inches 3/5 is 80%......80% of 12 inches is 9.6 inches ....1/4 is 3 inches and 2/3 is 8 inches so we have 9.6,3,and8 now we multiply 9.6*3*8 for the answer to be 230.4 inches squared
