3 : 8....can be written as 3/8
12 lbs of apples were sold
apples / oranges : 3/8 = 12/x
this is a proportion, so we cross multiply
(3)(x) = (12)(8)
3x = 96
x = 96/3
x = 32 <=== 32 lbs of oranges
notice that 3/8 = 12/32....these are equivalent fractions....because that is what proportions are, equivalent fractions
I think it's 12 times.

Answer:
1440 m³
1200 m³
Step-by-step explanation:
A local aquarium purchased a new turtle tank for their giant turtle exhibit.
If the dimensions of the tank are 15 m by 12 m by 8 m and the tank is of a cuboid shape and its volume is given by, V = (Length) × (Width) × (Height), then the volume of the tank will be
V = 15 × 12 × 8 = 1440 m³.
Again, if the dimensions of the tank are 15 m by 8 m by 10 m, then its volume will be
V = 15 × 8 × 10 = 1200 m³ (Answer)
