Question

An aquarium holds 11.5 cubic feet of water, and is 2.2 feet long and 1.6 feet wide. What is its depth??

The depth is _____ feet.​

Answer 1

Answer: 3.52

Explanation:

Hey!

So for this problem, we need to follow the Volume formula which is:

length x width x height

We know our length and width so all we need is our height (depth)

First , We multiply our length and width.

2.2 x 1.6 = 3.52

Next, we figure out what times this will equal 11.5. We can see that this number can’t be times 4 because that would make it twelve so we need to lower it. We can divide 11.5 (the volume) by 3.52 to get our answer.

We get 3.267. Rounded to the hundredths it would be 3.27 ft.

Hope this helps! :D

Sorry if I messed anything up!
