Terry and Bob each have an aquarium. Terry’s aquarium is 14 cm long, 12 cm high, and 10 cm wide. Bob’s aquarium is 13 cm long, 15 cm high and 8 cm wide. Whose aquarium holds the larger volume of water? Explain how you know. ok:D
To find the volume of each aquarium, we need to multiply the length, height, and width of each aquarium.
For Terry's aquarium:
Volume = 14 cm x 12 cm x 10 cm = 1680 cm³
For Bob's aquarium:
Volume = 13 cm x 15 cm x 8 cm = 1560 cm³
Therefore, Terry's aquarium holds a larger volume of water with 1680 cm³ compared to Bob's aquarium with 1560 cm³. Terry's aquarium is larger because it has larger dimensions in two out of the three measurements.
