what is the population density if your goldfish population was found in 20x30 sq inch rectangular aquarium?
How many goldfish?
How deep is the aquarium?
80 goldfish and it doesn't say how deep the aquarium it just says its a 20X30 square inch rectangular aquarium
The problem can't be answered without knowing the height of the aquarium.
its 20 by 30
(20 * 30) / 80 = 7.5 fish per square inch
That's an awfully crowded aquarium.
To calculate the population density of a goldfish population in a rectangular aquarium, you need to know the total number of goldfish and the area of the aquarium.
In this case, you mentioned that the aquarium is rectangular with dimensions 20x30 square inches. However, to calculate the population density, we need to know the number of goldfish in the aquarium.
Once you have the total number of goldfish, divide it by the area of the aquarium to find the population density. The formula for population density is:
Population Density = Total Number of Goldfish / Area of the Aquarium
Make sure the area of the aquarium is in the same units as the measure of goldfish (e.g., both in inches or both in square inches) for an accurate result.
