An aquarium has a volume of 432 in.3 and a base of 96 in.2 . How would you write an equation to model finding the height of the aquarium?

1 answer

To find the height of the aquarium, you can use the formula for the volume of a rectangular prism:

Volume = base x height

Plugging in the given values, the equation would look like this:

432 = 96 x height

You can then solve for the height by dividing both sides by 96:

height = 432 / 96

height = 4.5 inches

Therefore, the height of the aquarium is 4.5 inches.
