A public aquarium is being built to contain neon tetras. Each neon tetra needs 1.25 gallons of water. The aquarium will contain 1×10^5 gallons of water. How many tetras can it house? Write the answer in scientific notation.(1 point)
The number of tetras that can be housed in the aquarium can be calculated by dividing the total gallons of water in the aquarium by the water needed for each tetra:
1×10^5 gallons / 1.25 gallons/tetra = 8×10^4 tetras
Therefore, the aquarium can house 8×10^4 neon tetras.
