Am aquarium in the shape of a right rectangle prism is 12.5 inches long,6 inches wide and 8 inches high is the total amount of water needed, to the nearest cubic inch, to fill 90% of the aquarium with water
540
To find the total amount of water needed to fill 90% of the aquarium, we first need to calculate the volume of the aquarium.
The volume of a right rectangular prism is calculated by multiplying the length, width, and height together.
Given:
Length = 12.5 inches
Width = 6 inches
Height = 8 inches
Volume = Length × Width × Height
Volume = 12.5 inches × 6 inches × 8 inches
Now, multiply the values together:
Volume = 600 cubic inches
To find 90% of the volume, multiply it by 0.9:
90% of Volume = 600 cubic inches × 0.9
90% of Volume = 540 cubic inches
Therefore, approximately 540 cubic inches of water are needed to fill 90% of the aquarium.
