Question

The density of a fish tank is 0.5fish over feet cubed. There are 30 fish in the tank. What is the volume of the tank?

Answer 1

60

Explanation:

These questions are kind of easy, take the given number, in this case it is 30 fishes, and ÷ that by 0.5. If you had the number of feet instead of the fishes, it would be more like 60 × 0.5 which is splitting 60 in half. I hope that everyone who is stuck with this question no longer is. Best of luck on your test!

Answer 2

You just told us that there is an average of 1/2 fish in each cubic foot of tank.
We instantly calculated that there is an average of 1 fish in each 2 ft³.

(30 fish) / (1 fish/2 ft³) = 60 ft³

This is the only way you can handle the given information
and wind up with a quantity with units of volume.
