Question

There are two tanks at the aquarium. Tank A and Tank B. Each has two sections. The volume of one section of Tank A is 24 cubic feet. The volume of the other section of Tank A is 96 cubic feet. What is the area of volume, in cubic feet, of Tank A?

Tank B has the same volumes as Tank A. The volume of one section of Tank B is 45 cubic feet. What is the volume, in cubic feet, of the other section of Tank B If the area of Tank A is 2,304?

Answer 1

The area of volume of Tank A is found by adding the volumes of both sections:

24 + 96 = 120 cubic feet

If the area of Tank A is 2,304, then the volume of Tank B is also 2,304. Since one section of Tank B is 45 cubic feet, we can find the volume of the other section by setting up an equation:

45 + x = 2,304

Subtracting 45 from both sides:

x = 2,259

Therefore, the volume of the other section of Tank B is 2,259 cubic feet.
