Answer:
Volume of fish tank = 21 7/16 or 21.4375 cubic feet.
Explanation:
Given the following data;
Base area of tank = 6 1/8 square feet
Height of tank = 3 1/2 feet
Required:
To find the volume of the rectangular prism (fish tank);
Volume of rectangular prism = base area * height
Substituting into the formula, we have;
Volume of fish tank = 6 1/8 * 3 1/2
Volume of fish tank = 49/8 * 7/2
Volume of fish tank = 343/16
Volume of fish tank = 21 7/16 or 21.4375 cubic feet.
