A fish tank in the shape of a right rectangular prism has a volume of 1,920 cubic inches. What is the width of the tank if the height is 12 inches and the length is 20 inches?(1 point)

To find the width of the tank, we need to use the formula for the volume of a right rectangular prism:

Volume = Length * Width * Height

We know the volume is 1,920 cubic inches, the height is 12 inches, and the length is 20 inches. So we can substitute these values into the formula:

1,920 = 20 * Width * 12

To isolate the width, we divide both sides of the equation by (20 * 12):

1,920 / (20 * 12) = Width

Simplifying the right side:

1,920 / 240 = Width

Calculating:

8 = Width

Therefore, the width of the tank is 8 inches.
