Question

An aquarium in the shape of a cube holds 25 gallons of water and has a volume of 3.375 cubic feet. Solve for the length of one side of the aquarium using the equation s^3 = 3.375. What is the length of one side of the aquarium?

A. 1.5 feet
B. 2.5 feet
C. 3.5 feet
D. 4.5 feet

Answer 1

The length of one side of the aquarium is 1.5 feet.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the length of one side of the aquarium, we can solve the equation s^3 = 3.375. Taking the cube root of both sides, we get s = ∛3.375. Evaluating this expression, we find that the length of one side of the aquarium is approximately 1.5 feet. Therefore, the correct answer is A. 1.5 feet.
