Question

Kevin won two goldfish at the county fair. He put them in a bowl with 2 liters of water. The next day, he bought a fish tank that holds 75 liters of water.How much more water does the tank hold than the bowl?

Answer 1

To determine the additional water capacity of the fish tank over the bowl, subtract the bowl's volume of 2 liters from the tank's volume of 75 liters, which results in 73 liters more capacity for the tank.

Step-by-step explanation:

The question involves determining the difference in capacity between two containers: a bowl that holds 2 liters of water and a fish tank that holds 75 liters of water. To find out how much more water the tank holds than the bowl, we subtract the volume of the bowl from the volume of the tank. The calculation is as follows:

• Volume of the fish tank: 75 liters
• Volume of the bowl: 2 liters
• Difference in volume: 75 liters - 2 liters = 73 liters

Therefore, the fish tank holds 73 liters more water than the bowl.
