Question

Part C
How many cubic blocks are needed to fill the fish tank?

Answer 1

`2(2)/(3)` cubic blocks

Explanation:

The given parameters are:

`Length = (1)/(2)yd`

`Width = 16yd`

`Height =(1)/(3)yd`

Required

Number of cubic blocks to fill the tank

To do this, we simply calculate the volume of the tank by:

`Volume = Length * Width * Height`

This gives:

`Volume = (1)/(2) * 16 * (1)/(3)`

`Volume = (16)/(6)`

Simplify

`Volume = (8)/(3)`

Express as mixed numbers

`Volume = 2(2)/(3)yd^3`
