Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The population density is calculated using the formula:

$\text{Population Density=}\frac{\text{Population}}{\text{Volume}}$

Thus, substituting the given values:

$0.5(fish)/(ft^3)=\frac{30\text{ fishes}}{\text{Volume}}$

Cross multiply:

$\begin{gathered} \text{Volume}*0.5=30 \\ \text{Volume}=(30)/(0.5) \\ \text{Volume}=60ft^3 \end{gathered}$

The volume of the tank is 60 cubic feet.
