Suppose an aquarium has a length of 4 feet, a width of 2 feet, and is filled with water to a depth of 9 feet. A reef is placed i
1 answer:
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
The information that we kow about the shape of the aquarium:
length:
width:
when the reef is submerged, the water level rises 3 feet. The volume that those 3 ft represent in the aquarium will be the volume of the reef.
Thus, we calculate the volume of water "addition" with the same length and width as the aquarium but with a deep of 3 feet (thi is because the reef caused the water to rise 3 feet), and this is the volume of the reef that was added to the aquarium:
The volume of the stone is

The correct answers are:
(1) If EXACT number is required, then 7.5.
(2) If multiple of 8 is required then the answer will be 7 times with a remainder of 4.
Explanation:
First you need to express it in the form of equation to make things simpler as follows:
8 * y = 60
We need to find y; to do so, divide 60 by 8:
y =
y = 7.5
Now if you want to find the whole number, then the answer will be 7 times, with 4 left over.
Answer:
width = 9.36 ft
length = 21.36 ft
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the width be x ft long. Then it follows that the length will be (x+12) ft long.
To calculate the area would then be
x(x+12) = 200
x
x = 9.36 ft or x = -21.36 ft
We take the positive answer. So the dimensions are
width = 9.36 ft
length = 9.36 + 12 = 21.36 ft
