Question

The number of tropical fish that an aquarium can hold depends on the volume of the fish tank. the interior dimensions of the fish tank below are 60 60 ​cm, 50 50 ​cm, and 30 30 cm. each fish requires​ 10,000 cubic centimeters of water. how many tropical fish will this fish tank​ hold?

Answer 1

9 fish

Explanation:

Dimensions of fish tank :

Length = 60 cm

Width = 50 cm

Height = 30 cm

Volume of fish tank =
`Length * Width * Height`

=
`60* 50 * 30`

=
`90000cm^3`

Each fish requires​ 10,000 cubic centimeters of water.

So, tank will hold number of fishes =
`(90000)/(10000)`

=
`9`

Hence tank will hold 9 fish.

Answer 2

To figure the amount of tropical fish in the aquarium you multiple length*height*width to find the cubic centimeters of the tank, then divide that number by 10,000. 60*50*30=90,000 cubic centimeters. 90,000/10,000=9. 9 tropical fish could be places in a tank with those dimensions.
