see the explanation
Step-by-step explanation:
<u><em>The complete question is</em></u>
Explain how you found the volume of water in the fish tank if it was only 1/2 full with water. Show your work and solution. Don't forget your UNITS!
You have a fish tank with the following dimensions:
Height: 3 feet
Width: 1.5 feet
Length: 2 feet
step 1
Find the volume of the fish tank
The volume of a rectangular prism ( fish tank) is equal to

substitute the given values

step 2
Find the volume of water in the fish tank
Remember that
The fish tank it was only one and a half full with water
so
Multiply the volume of the fish tank by one and a half to obtain the volume of water

To make this easy let covert everything using a LCD.
The LCD of 1/4 1/12 and 1/6 is 12. This becomes...
Tom ate 3/12 of the pizza.
Leftover pizza = 9/12.
Slices were 1/12.
X friends got pizza.
Remaining pizza is 2/12.
if each friend got 1 piece(1/12)....
9/12(Leftovers) - 2/12(remaining) = 7/12
So 7 friends got pizza.
-2x -9y = -25
-(-4x -9y =-23)
2x = -2
x = -1
-2(-1) -9y = -25
2 - 9y = -25
-9y = -25 -2
-9y = -27
y = 3
(-1,3)
