Does anyone know the answer to this math problem?

Question

I have an aquarium that is 72 inches long, 18 inches wide and 18 inches deep. I think my aquarium holds 125 gallons but I'm not sure. What is the formula for finding out the volumn so I will know how many gallons it holds?

Answer 1

Multiply the height, length, and width and you will get the volume of the aquarium. The formula for gallons is:

1 cubic inch = .0043 gallons

Multiple the volume of the aquarium in cubic inches times .0043 and you will get the gallons.

18*18*72=23328 cubic inches
23328*.0043=100.31 gallons

Answer 2

First, find the volume in cubic inches:
72*18*18

Then, you need to know the conversion from cubic inches to gallons. There are 8 gallons in a cubic foot, so the answer is
(72*18*18)/(12*12*12) * 8
= 72/12*18/12*18/12*8
= 6*1.5*1.5*8 = 108 gallons

Answer 3

72 x 18 x 18 = 23328 in^2

1 gal = 231 in^3

your tank is about 101 gallons (probably sold as a 100 gallon tank).

Answer 4

assuming it is a perfectly rectangular aquarium...
then use the formula volume = length * width * height
you also need to convert to change units (change gallons to liters and inches to meters.)

Answer 5

length times width times height then convert inches into gallons

just type in online conversion chart in a search engine and plug in the answers along with the units and you should get the answer

Answer 6

volume is length x width x height. you have to find out what one gallon's volume is for a prism first, then see if you can divide that volume into the aquarium's volume.

Answer 7

volume=l*w*h ; 1in = 2.54cm; 1G=3.78L
=182.88*45.72*45.72
=382277.43cm^3
=382.27743L
=101.13G
