Question

each tank at the aquarium holds 95.4 gallons of water. how much water can 68 tanks hold? ______ gallons

Explanation:

Step1: Identify given values

1 tank: $95.4$ gallons; Number of tanks: $68$

Step2: Calculate total capacity

Multiply gallons per tank by number of tanks:
$\text{Total} = 95.4 \times 68$
Calculate the product:
$95.4 \times 68 = (90 + 5.4) \times 68 = 90\times68 + 5.4\times68 = 6120 + 367.2 = 6487.2$

Answer:

6487.2 gallons
