Anna Beth has a freshwater fish tank and a saltwater fish tank. They are both cubes. The side length of the freshwater tank is 15 cm. The side length of the saltwater tank is 45 cm. How many times larger is the volume of the saltwater tank than the volume of the freshwater tank? (1 point) Responses 9 9 27 27 30 30 3
The volume of a cube is calculated by cubing the side length.
For the freshwater tank:
Volume = 15 cm * 15 cm * 15 cm = 3375 cm^3
For the saltwater tank:
Volume = 45 cm * 45 cm * 45 cm = 91125 cm^3
Now, we can calculate the ratio of the volume of the saltwater tank to the volume of the freshwater tank:
91125 cm^3 / 3375 cm^3 = 27
Therefore, the volume of the saltwater tank is 27 times larger than the volume of the freshwater tank.
