Answer:
1920 in³
Step-by-step explanation:
The volume of the water can be gotten by calculation the volume of the aquarium it fills/occupies.
Since the water fills to exactly three inches below the top of the aquarium, hence the height of the water in the aquarium is given as:
height of water = 13 in - 3 in = 10 in
Therefore the volume of the water in the tank is given by the formula:
Volume of water = height of water * breadth of tank * length of tank
Volume of water = 10 in * 8 in * 24 in = 1920 in³
A) 859.32/8= 107.415=108 tickets
B) 980.68/8= 122.585=123 tickets
14. It's finding volume. The depth of the water is the value for the height.
15. I believe it's C
