Annabeth has freshwater fish tank in a saltwater fish tank. They are both cubes. The side length of the freshwater tank is 15 cm. The side length of the saltwater tank is 45 cm how many times larger is the volume of the salt water tank than the volume of the freshwater tank?

Answer 1

To find the volumes of the two tanks, we need to calculate the volume of each cube.

Volume of freshwater tank = side length^3 = 15^3 = 3375 cm^3
Volume of saltwater tank = side length^3 = 45^3 = 91125 cm^3

Now, we can calculate how many times larger the volume of the saltwater tank is than the volume of the freshwater tank:

91125 cm^3 / 3375 cm^3 = 27

Therefore, the volume of the saltwater tank is 27 times larger than the volume of the freshwater tank.
