Martene got a small aquarium for her birthday. The aquarium is a right rectangular prism 18.5 cm long and 15cm wide.Martene put 3885 cm of water in the aquarium. How deep is the water in the aquarium?
The volume of the tank is 3885 cubic centimeters. Volume is equivalent to length * width * height, in which you are provided both length and width. Your equation becomes
3885 = 18.5 * 15 * height
Solving this, we get height = 14 cm.

To find the depth of the water in the aquarium, we need to use the formula for the volume of a rectangular prism: Volume = Length × Width × Depth.
Given:
Length = 18.5 cm
Width = 15 cm
Volume = 3885 cm³
Substituting the given values into the volume formula, we get:
3885 = 18.5 × 15 × Depth
To find the depth, we can rearrange the equation to isolate the Depth variable:
Depth = 3885 / (18.5 × 15)
Now, we can calculate the depth of the water in the aquarium:
Depth = 3885 / (277.5)
Depth ≈ 14 cm
Therefore, the depth of the water in the aquarium is approximately 14 cm.
