Anna Beth has a freshwater fish tank and a saltwater fish tank. They are both cubes. The side length of the freshwater tank is 15 cm. The side length of the saltwater tank is 45 cm. How many times larger is the volume of the saltwater tank than the volume of the freshwater tank? (1 point) Responses 30 30 9 9 3 3 27
The volume of a cube is calculated by (side length)^3.
For the freshwater tank:
Volume = (15)^3 = 15,625 cm^3
For the saltwater tank:
Volume = (45)^3 = 91,125 cm^3
To find how many times larger the volume of the saltwater tank is than the freshwater tank, we divide the volume of the saltwater tank by the volume of the freshwater tank:
91,125 cm^3 / 15,625 cm^3 = 5.84
Therefore, the volume of the saltwater tank is approximately 5.84 times larger than the volume of the freshwater tank.

The volume of the saltwater tank is 91,125 cm^3 and the volume of the freshwater tank is 15,625 cm^3.
To find how many times larger the volume of the saltwater tank is than the volume of the freshwater tank, we divide the volume of the saltwater tank by the volume of the freshwater tank:
91,125 cm^3 / 15,625 cm^3 = 5.84
So, the volume of the saltwater tank is approximately 5.84 times larger than the volume of the freshwater tank.
Therefore, the correct answer is not listed in the provided responses.
