Answer:

10CM

Explanation:

Volume can be found using the formula Volume = length × width × height

Let's plug in all the numbers we know:

2,400 = 20x12?

2,400 = 240x?

What number can we multiply by 240 to get 2400?

2,400 = 240 x 10

The height of the water in Nemo's aquarium is 10cm.

The answer to this question is 10 cm

In this question, you asked the height and given the volume of water(2400cm3), aquarium length(20cm), and aquarium width(12cm).
Then you need to divide the volume with the length and width. The equation would be:
Aquarium height= volume / length / width
Aquarium height= 2400 cm3 / 20cm / 12 cm = 10cm.
