The volume of water in the fish tank is 4.5 cubic feet

see the explanation

Explanation:

The complete question is

Explain how you found the volume of water in the fish tank if it was only 1/2 full with water. Show your work and solution. Don't forget your UNITS!

You have a fish tank with the following dimensions:

Height: 3 feet

Width: 1.5 feet

Length: 2 feet

step 1

Find the volume of the fish tank

The volume of a rectangular prism ( fish tank) is equal to

`V=LWH`

substitute the given values

`V=(2)(1.5)(3)=9\ ft^3`

step 2

Find the volume of water in the fish tank

Remember that

The fish tank it was only one and a half full with water

so

Multiply the volume of the fish tank by one and a half to obtain the volume of water

`(1)/(2)(9)=4.5\ ft^3`
