Question

Part C How many cubic blocks are needed to fill the fish tank?

Answer 1

Answer:

$2\frac{2}{3}$ cubic blocks

Step-by-step explanation:

The given parameters are:

$Length = \frac{1}{2}yd$

$Width = 16yd$

$Height =\frac{1}{3}yd$

Required

Number of cubic blocks to fill the tank

To do this, we simply calculate the volume of the tank by:

$Volume = Length * Width * Height$

This gives:

$Volume = \frac{1}{2} * 16 * \frac{1}{3}$

$Volume = \frac{16}{6}$

Simplify

$Volume = \frac{8}{3}$

Express as mixed numbers

$Volume = 2\frac{2}{3}yd^3$
