a fish tank has dimensions 3 ft by 2 feet by 1.5 ft. two feet is the height of the aquarium. if the tank is not filled all the way and there are two inches of empty space at the top, how many cubic inches of water are in the tank?

The right answer is: 14,256 cubic inches

Step-by-step explanation:

First of all, let's identify the dimensions of the tank and convert them to inches

Knowing that  1 Feet = 12 inches

So, the dimensions of the tank, expresed in inches will be:

Height (H): 2 ft. x 12 = 24 inches

Width (W): 1.50 ft. x 12 = 18 inches

Lenght (L): 3 ft. x 12 = 36 inches

Before calculating the volume of water inside the thank, We must consider that there are two inches of empty space at the top.

So , We must substract 2 inches to the height to calculate the volume.

Then, the height used for calculating the volume will be:

H'= 24 inches - 2 inches = 22 inches

Then,

Volume (V)= W x L x H'

V= (18 inches) x (36 inches) x (22 inches)

V= 14,256 cubic inches

i got 142 as my answer

step-by-step explanation:

well there are two answers for that.

1: you need 120 ones then that will equal up to 120.

2: you could also do one 100 and 2 tens.

those are the answers that i have thought of.
