A fish tank that measures 30 inches by 24 inches by 9 inches is filled with water 7/8 of its height.
2/3 of the water leaks out of the tank because of a crack.
How much water is left in the tank?

Find the volume of the tank
30 * 24 * 9 = 6480 cu/in
Find how much water was in the tank initially
* 6480 = 5670 cu/in of water
Find out how much water left, 2/3 leaks out, 1/3 remain
* 5670 = 1890 cu/in water remain
