Question

Terry and Bob each have an aquarium. Terry’s aquarium is 14 cm long, 12 cm high, and 10 cm wide. Bob’s aquarium is 13 cm long, 15 cm high and 8 cm wide. Whose aquarium holds the larger volume of water? Explain how you know. ok:D

Answer 1

To find the volume of each aquarium, we need to multiply the length, height, and width of each aquarium.

For Terry's aquarium:
Volume = 14 cm x 12 cm x 10 cm = 1680 cm³

For Bob's aquarium:
Volume = 13 cm x 15 cm x 8 cm = 1560 cm³

Therefore, Terry's aquarium holds a larger volume of water with 1680 cm³ compared to Bob's aquarium with 1560 cm³. Terry's aquarium is larger because it has larger dimensions in two out of the three measurements.

Answer 3

Terry's aquarium holds a larger volume of water because its dimensions are larger overall compared to Bob's aquarium. Terry's aquarium has a volume of 1680 cm³ while Bob's aquarium has a volume of 1560 cm³.
