Answers
GIVEN:-
Zach keeps his pet chameleon Pinky in a terrarium . There's sand in the bottom of the terrarium that reaches a height of 8 cm . base is 20 x 50 cm.
New terrarium base is 25 by 64 cm
How deep will the sand be in the new terrarium
SOLUTION:-
Volume = l * b * h
Sand in the bottom of the terrarium that reaches a height of 8 cm×20 cm x 50 cm base
Volume of sand = 50 * 20 * 8 cm³
The base of the new terrarium is 25 by 64 centimeters.
Volume of sand = 25 * 64 * h cm³
h = height of sand
25 * 64 * h = 50 * 20 * 8
25 * 64 * h = 50 * 20 * 8 => h = 5 cm
Height of sand in new terrarium = 5 cm
Height of sand in old terrarium = 8 cm
Sand in new terrarium is 8 - 5 = 3 cm deep from old terrarium
