These are the dimensions of a fishbowl.
The question:
1 cubic foot is approximately 7.48 gallons. Beth purchased a fish tank. If the fish she wishes to purchase needs 12 gallons of water per fish, what is the maximum number of fish Beth can purchase?.
My work
1 cubic foot= 7.48 gallons
Needs 12 gallons of water per fish.
How many fish you can buy If the fish tank is 5 then 2 long wide and 3 high.
I have to find the volume of the fishtank to see how much water it can hold.
V= l×w×h
V=5×2×3
V=30ft^3
1 ft^3=7.48 gallons
30
30ft^3 × 7.48 gallons=224.4 g per ft^3
If I need 12 gallons per fish, then,
224.4 galones ÷ 12 galones =18.7
It can buy 18 fish for the fishbowl .
Thanks in advance for your tutoring and correc tion.
