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.

Answer 1

First, we need to convert the capacity of the fish tank from cups to gallons. Since 1 gallon is equivalent to 16 cups, we can divide 976 cups by 16 to get 61 gallons.

Next, we need to determine the total water needed for the 30 tropical fish. Since there needs to be an average of 2 gallons of water for each fish, we can multiply 30 fish by 2 gallons to get 60 gallons.

Since the total water needed for the 30 fish is 60 gallons and the fish tank has a capacity of 61 gallons, the fish tank will be able to provide enough water for the fish to flourish.
