Question

In step one do you found the volume (in cubic feet) of the main tank(359,006.67). The maximum density of killer whales per cubic foot is 0.000011142, what is the maximum number of killer whales allowed on the main show tank at any given time? I must explain your answer using words and you must show all working calculations to receive credit

Answer 1

4 killer whales

Explanation:

The dimensional analysis is ...

(whales/ft³)(ft³/tank) = whales/tank

Putting the numbers with the units, we get ...

(1.1142·10^-5 whales/ft³)(3.5900667·10^5 ft³/tank) = 4.00005... whales/tank

The maximum number of killer whales allowed in the main show tank is 4.
