Question

a fish tank shaped like a right rectangular prism had a length of 22 inches a width of 8 inches and a height of 16 inches what is the volume

Answer 1

First find the maximum amount of water the tank can hold:

16×14×10=2240→This is the volume of the tank

2240−1680=560→ 560 cubic inches of the tank is not filled up

560/2240=0.25→ 0.25 of the tank is empty

To convert a decimal to a percent, multiply the decimal by 100.

0.25×100=25→ The tank is 25% empty.
