Question 41003: Suppose you have two fish aquariums. One measures 4 feet long and 2 feet wide with a depth of 3 feet (see figure below. If you pour all the water into the other aquarium which is 7 feet long and 1.5 feet wide what is the depth of water in the second aquarium (Use V = lwh)? Answer by 303795(602) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! Aquarium 1 has a volume of 4 x 2 x 3 = 24 cubic feet.
Aquarium 2 has a volume of 7 x 1.5 x depth which also must equal 24 cubic feet
7 x 1.5 x depth =24
10.5 x depth = 24
depth = 24/10.5
=2.29 feet
=2 feet 3.4 inches
