Part A:
First, convert all measurements to inches:
- Length: 1 yard 3 inches = (3 x 36) + 3 = 111 inches
- Width: 1.5 feet = 1.5 x 12 = 18 inches
- Height: 20 inches
The volume can be found by multiplying these measurements together:
111 x 18 x 20 = 39,960 cubic inches
Therefore, the volume of the fish tank is 39,960 cubic inches.
Part B:
To convert cups to gallons, we divide by 16 (since there are 16 cups in a gallon):
976 cups รท 16 = 61 gallons
So the fish tank has a capacity of 61 gallons.
If there are 30 fish and we need an average of 2 gallons per fish, we need a total of:
30 x 2 = 60 gallons of water
This means that the fish tank will have just enough water for the 30 fish to flourish.
You are designing a large rectangular fish tank for your tropical fish. The length will be 1 yard 3 inches, the width will be 1.5 feet, and the height will be 20 inches.
Part A
Find the volume of the fish tank in cubic inches.
The volume is
cubic inches.
Part B
Your math teacher tells you that your fish tank will have a capacity of about 976 cups. You have a total of 30 tropical fish. For them to flourish in a fish tank, there needs to be an average of 2 gallons of water for each fish.
Convert 976 cups to gallons.
976 cups equals
gallons.

1 yard, 3 inches = 3 feet, 3 inches = 36+3 = 39 inches (NOT 111)
its not 60 its 61 for part B
You are correct, I apologize for the errors in my previous answers.
Part A:
Length: 1 yard 3 inches = 39 inches
Volume = 39 x 18 x 20 = 14,040 cubic inches
Therefore, the volume of the fish tank is 14,040 cubic inches.
Part B:
To convert cups to gallons, we divide by 16:
976 cups รท 16 = 61 gallons
So the fish tank has a capacity of 61 gallons.
If there are 30 fish and we need an average of 2 gallons per fish, we need a total of:
30 x 2 = 60 gallons of water
Therefore, we need to add more water to the tank for the fish to have enough space to flourish.
