Frank keeps his pet iguana in a glass tank that is shaped like a rectangular prism. The height of the tank is 11 inches, the width is 34.5 inches, and the length is 25 inches. What is the best estimate for the volume of the tank in cubic feet?

Answer:

Please read the whole thing and choose!

Step-by-step explanation:

Alrighty, let's get started!

Time to Understand!

[Because sometimes we forget (I forget everything and anything!)]

How to find volume?

So, in order to compute volume you must always multiply height, width, and base (which is also known as length).

Now what is a cubic foot?

Great question!

A cubic footage is the volume of a space measured in feet. It's the volume of a cube with width, length, and height equal to one foot.

Uh oh!

We are multiplying by inches right! Well we can convert our cubed inches into feet after we are done solving the problem!

Time to Solve!!!

Now let's multiply,

11 * 34.5 * 25 = 9487.5 inches cubed

Ok, the easy part is done now we must convert this into feet cubed!

Conversion factor: 1 ft³ = 1728 in³

(YOU NEED TO REMEMBER THIS)

1) Cubic Foot = Cubic Inch / 1728

2) Cubic Foot = 9487.5 / 1728

3) Cubic Foot = 5.4905

Alright, so after all that math (Phew! We survived!) we get that our answer is 5.4905 cubic feet.

BUT, WE WERE ASKED TO ESTIMATE!!!!!

So, we shall round to different numbers because I do not know which humber you asked for!

So, 5.4905 can be rounded like this:

5.4900 (10,000 in decimal world)

5.490 (1,000 in decimal world)

5.50 (100 in decimal world)

5.5 (10 in decimal world)

REMEMBER THAT WHICHEVER ANSWER YOU CHOOSE YOU MUST PUT CUBIC FEET RIGHT AFTER SO THEY KNOW IT'S NOT ELEPHANTS!!!!!!!

MY IDEAL ANSWER WOULD BE: 5.5 CUBIC FEET

Hope you learned a lot!

Hope this helped!

And good luck!

On another note could I please have the Brainliest?

I worked really hard on this and I would be forever grateful!

Answer:

5.49 ft³

Step-by-step explanation:

1 inch = 1/12 foot

11 inches = 11/12 feet

34.5 inches = 34.5/12 feet

25 inches = 25/12 feet

Volume = (11/12)(34.5/12)(25/12)

= 6325/1152 ft³

= 5.490451389 ft³
