Question

are two aquariums in a science room. one of the aquariums is 18 inches wide, 25 inches long, and 12 inches high.
re are 231 cubic inches in a gallon, how many gallons of water can the aquarium hold (to the nearest tenth of a gallon)?
a. 23.4
b. 4.2
c. 19.0
d. 47.1
e. 35.8

Explanation:

Step1: Calculate aquarium volume

$V = \text{width} \times \text{length} \times \text{height} = 18 \times 25 \times 12 = 5400$ cubic inches

Step2: Convert volume to gallons

$\text{Gallons} = \frac{V}{231} = \frac{5400}{231} \approx 23.4$

Answer:

A. 23.4
