Answer:

I'm going to take a guess and say the last part says what is width of the tank. Therefore, your answer is 3.

Explanation:

The formula to find the volume of a rectangular cuboid is height (h) * length (l) * width (w), or h*l*w = volume (or ‘v’).

In this case, we already have the length and the height at 6 and 4, respectively, so we can plug that into our equation:

4*6*w = v

We also have the volume already figured out for us, so we can plug that in, too:

4*6*w = 72.

Now, all you need to do is simplify:

24 * w = 72

Divide both sides of the equation by 24 to isolate the value of the width:

w = 72/24

w = 3

So, there you have it! Since we were labeling our units in feet, in this case, the answer would be “The width of the aquarium is 3 feet”
