The depth of the tank is 9 inches, which is 3/4 feet. The volume of the water in the tank is 9 cubic feet.

The depth of the tank is given as 9 inches, which is 9/12 = 3/4 feet.

To calculate the volume of the tank, multiply the length, width, and depth:

Volume = 3 feet x 2 feet x 3/4 feet = 9 cubic feet.

Therefore, the volume of the water in the tank is 9 cubic feet.
