Answer:

1920 in³

Explanation:

The volume of the water can be gotten by calculation the volume of the aquarium it fills/occupies.

Since the water fills to exactly three inches below the top of the aquarium, hence the height of the water in the aquarium is given as:

height of water = 13 in - 3 in = 10 in

Therefore the volume of the water in the tank is given by the formula:

Volume of water = height of water * breadth of tank * length of tank

Volume of water = 10 in * 8 in * 24 in = 1920 in³
