Question

You only had enough money to buy three goldfish. When you added them to the tank, you noticed that the water level rose 1 cm. What is the total volume of the 3 goldfish?

A) 3 cubic centimeters

B) 1 cubic centimeter

C) 9 cubic centimeters

D) 6 cubic centimeters

Answer 1

The total volume of the 3 goldfish is 3 cubic centimeters.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the total volume of the 3 goldfish, we need to determine the volume of each goldfish and then add them together.

Since we know that adding the goldfish to the tank raised the water level by 1 cm, we can assume that each goldfish has a volume of 1 cm³. Therefore, the total volume of the 3 goldfish is 3 cm³.

So, the answer is A) 3 cubic centimeters.
