Answer: There are 16 fish that he can keep in the aquarium.

Explanation:

Since we have given that

Length of aquarium = 4 feet

Width of aquarium = 1 foot

So, it forms a shape of cuboid.

As we know the formula for "Volume of Cuboid":


Volume=Length* Breadth* Height\\\\Volume=4* 1* 2\\\\Volume=8\ ft^3

According to question, Each fish needs atleast 0.5 cubic feet of water.

So, Number of fish that he can keep in the aquarium is given by


(8)/(0.5)=16

Hence, there are 16 fish that he can keep in the aquarium.
