Answer 1

To find the width of the fish tank, you can use the formula for the volume of a right rectangular prism:

\[
\text{Volume} = \text{length} \times \text{width} \times \text{height}
\]

You've been given:

- Volume = 1,920 cubic inches
- Height = 12 inches
- Length = 20 inches

Now, substitute the values into the volume formula:

\[
1,920 = 20 \times \text{width} \times 12
\]

Next, multiply the length and height:

\[
20 \times 12 = 240
\]

Now, the equation looks like this:

\[
1,920 = 240 \times \text{width}
\]

To find the width, divide both sides of the equation by 240:

\[
\text{width} = \frac{1,920}{240}
\]

Calculating the right side:

\[
\text{width} = 8
\]

Therefore, the width of the tank is **8 inches**.
