Question

(08.04 MC)The density of a fish tank is 0.5 fish/feet^3. There are 30 fish in the tank.What is the volume of the tank? (1 point)

Answer 1

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.
