Question

Tristan’s fish is 1/2 yard long, 1/6 yard wide, 1/3 yard high. What should the side lengths of each cubic block used to find the volume be?

Answer 1

The answer is 1/6 yard

Explanation:

The length, width, and height of a cube are equal. Each cubic block must have the same length, width, and height:

Length of tank= 1/6 yard = 1/6 yard = 3 x 1/6 yard

Height of tank: 2/6 yard = 2 x 1/6 yard

width of tank= 1/6 yard

Because the length and height of the tank are multiples of the width, the length of each cubic block should be equal to the width of the tank:

= 1.6 yard

Answer 2

To find the volume of most objects the formula is length x width x height. So in order to find the volume you need to multiply the data.
1/2 x 1/6 x 1/3= 1/36
The volume is 1/36
