Answer:
39.00%
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
Dimension: 36⅞ by 19 by 24⅝
Volume of Water = 6039in³
Required
What percent of the volume of the aquarium is filled with water?
First, we need to calculate the volume of the aquarium.
This is calculated by multiplying the dimensions of the aquarium
Volume = 36⅞ * 19 * 24⅝
Volume = 295/8 * 19 * 197/8
Volume = 1104185/64
Volume = 17252.89
The percent filled with water is calculated using the following formula:
%Percent = (Volume of water * 100%)/(Volume of aquarium)
%Percent = (6039 * 100%)/(17252.89)
%Percent = (603900%)/(17252.89)
%Percent = 39.00% (approximated)
Hence, the water occupies 39.00% of the aquarium
