Question

If you had 454g of shrimp/sq ft in a tank with an 11 sq meter bottom area, how many total kilograms of shrimp do you have?

Answer 1

total weight of the shrimp = 53.7549 kg.

Explanation:

Given,

Weight of shrimp = 454 g/sq meter

area of bottom of tank = 11 sq meter

By converting meter into ft,

1 sq meter = 10.7639 sq feet

=> 11 sq meter = 11 x 10.7639 sq ft

= 118.4029 sq feet

So, the total area of the bottom of the tank = 118.4029 sq feet

According to question,

Weight of shrimp in 1 square ft = 454 g

so, the weight of shrimp in 118.4029 sq ft = 118.4029 x 454 g

= 53754.9166 g

Since,
`1\ g\ =\ 10^(-3)\ kg`

`=>\ 53754.9166\ g\ =\ 53754.9166\ g* 10^(-3)\ kg`

= 53.7549 kg

So, the total weight of the shrimp will be 53.7549 kg.
