Sam purchases five goldfish and an aquarium with a rectangular base. The aquarium measures twenty-four inches long, eight inches wide, and ten inches tall. Sam fills the aquarium with water so that one inch of space remains at the top. How many cubic inches of water are in Sam's aquarium?

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

The dimension of the rectangular base aquarium is

The gap between top and water level is i.e. water is filled up to a height of

Now, the dimensions of the water in the aquarium is

The volume of a rectangular base prism is

The volume of water in the aquarium is

the ratio of white tiles to blue tiles is 48: 16. the ratio in it's simplest form is 3: 1.

step-by-step explanation:

ratio: take the first number and add a colon next to it, then add the second number after that. make sure the ratio order matches up with the written problem!

simplest form: we can simplify the ratio 48 : 16 by dividing both terms by the greatest common factor (gcf).

the gcf of 48 and 16 is 16.

divide both terms by 16:

48 ÷ 16 = 3

16 ÷ 16 = 1

reducing to simplest form:

48 : 16 = 3 : 1
