Question

An image of a rectangular prism 4 ft. in length, 2 ft. in width, and 3 ft. in height is shown. Mandy is buying fish for her fish tank shown above. If each fish needs 3 ft. 3 of water, how many fish can Mandy have in her tank? A. 4 fish B. 8 fish C. 12 fish D. 24 fish

Answer 1

B. 8 fish

Explanation:

Prism Formula = b × h (base × height)

b: 4 ft. ×2 ft.

h: 3 ft.

4 × 2 = 8 ft.

8 × 3 = 24 ft. of water.

Since 3 ft. of water is required for each fish, we will divide.

24 ÷ 3 = 8 fish.

Therefore, Mandy can fit 8 fish in her tank.
