Answer:

2 Fishes

Explanation:

Base Area of the Tank=0.9 square meters

Height of the Tank =0.6 meters

Volume of a Prism=Base Area X Height

Therefore, the volume of the tank=0.9 X 0.6=0.54 cubic meters

Now, the density must not exceed 5 fish per cubic meter.

We also know that:

Density=Mass ÷ volume

Therefore:

5=Number of Fishes÷0.54

Number of Fishes= 5 X 0.54 =2.7 fishes

Alvin can get 2 fishes at most
