Explanation:

Here is the complete question used in answering this question

he given cylindrical container r =3 inches and height= 8in is used to fill the rectangular prism fish tank 24 , 24 and 12 inches with water. What is the least number of full cylindrical needed to completely fill the fish tank?

Number of cylinders needed = volume of prism / volume of cylinder

volume of prism = width x height x length = 24 x 24 x 12 = 6912

volume of a cylinder = nr^2h

n = 22/7

r = radius

(22/7) x (3^2) x 8 = 226.29

6912 / 226.29= 30.54
