Answer:

14cm

Explanation:

Martelene bought a small aquarium to celebrate her birthday.

The aquarium has a length of 18.5cm, width of 15cm and a volume of 3885 cubic centimeters.

From the question above we are required to calculate the depth of the water in the aquarium

Let A represent the depth of the water in the aquarium

Volume= length×width×height

3885= 18.5 × 15 × A

3885= 277.5A

Divide both sides by the coefficient of A which is 277.5

3885/277.5= 277.5A/277.5

A = 3885/277.5

A= 14cm

Hence the water is 14cm deep into the aquarium.
