of water are needed to fill the aquarium? (Hint: There are 1,728 cubic inches
in a cubic foot.)

I guess that would depend on the size of the aquarium, eh?
so, when you figure how many in^3 the aquarium holds, divide that by 231 to get the gallons.
3.4
To find out how many gallons of water are needed to fill the aquarium, you can follow these steps:
Step 1: Determine the volume of the aquarium in cubic inches.
Since the question does not provide the dimensions of the aquarium, we cannot directly calculate the volume. You may need to provide additional information or consult the aquarium specifications to obtain the measurements.
Step 2: Convert the volume from cubic inches to cubic feet.
To convert from cubic inches to cubic feet, divide the volume in cubic inches by 1,728 (since there are 1,728 cubic inches in a cubic foot).
Step 3: Convert the volume from cubic feet to gallons.
Since there are 231 cubic inches in a gallon of water, we can use this conversion factor to determine the volume in gallons. Multiply the volume in cubic feet by 1,728 (to convert it back to cubic inches) and then divide by 231 to get the volume in gallons.
By following these steps, you will be able to calculate the number of gallons needed to fill the aquarium.
