To find the volume of the fish tank, you would multiply the length, width, and height together.
36 1/2 * 12 3/4 * 18 1/2 = 864/2 * 51/4 * 37/2 = 13824/4 * 37/2 = 3456 * 37 = 127872
Therefore, the volume of the fish tank is 127,872 cubic inches.
The closest response is 8,609 7/16in.3, which is equivalent to 8,609 1/7 in.3. So, the correct answer is 8,609 Start Fraction 7 over 16 end fraction in cubed.
