Question

A fish tank has a length of 4 feet and width of 18 inches. The fish tank is 3 feet high and is filled to within 4 inches of the top of the tank. What is the volume of water in the tank?

Answer 1

Answer:
`V=2\ ft^3`

Explanation:

Given

Length of fish tank
`L=4\ ft`

Width of fish tank
`W=18\ in\approx 1.5\ ft`

Height of fish tank
`H=3\ ft`

Fish tank is filled up to a height of
`h=4\ in.\approx (1)/(3)\ ft`

Now volume of water in fish tank
`=L* W* h`

`V=4* 1.5* (1)/(3)`

`V=2\ ft^3`
