Terry and Bib each have an aquarium. Terry's aquarium is 14 cm long, 12 cm high, and 10 cm wide. Bob's aquarium is 13 cm long, 15 cm high and 8 cm wide. Whose aquarium holds the larger volume of water?

Answer 1

To find the volume of each aquarium, we multiply the length, height, and width of each aquarium.

Terry's aquarium:
Volume = 14 cm x 12 cm x 10 cm
Volume = 1680 cm^3

Bob's aquarium:
Volume = 13 cm x 15 cm x 8 cm
Volume = 1560 cm^3

Therefore, Terry's aquarium holds a larger volume of water than Bob's aquarium. Terry's aquarium holds 1680 cm^3 of water while Bob's aquarium holds 1560 cm^3 of water.
