Answer:
There are 4800 fish in the store.
Step-by-step explanation:
Since the dimensions of fish section is 40 feet × 15 feet × 6 feet
Now we will convert the dimensions into inches.
1 feet = 12 inches
Therefore dimension will be (40×12) in. × (15×12) in. × (6×12) in.
The volume of fish section will be V = 480 × 180 × 72 in³ = 6220800 in.³
Now volume of each fish tank = 24×36×24 = 20736 in.³
Now we know each fish tank contains an average of 16 fish.
Therefore from unitary method we can calculate the numbers of fish in the store.
Numbers of fish = (6220800×16)/20736 = 4800
So the answer is 4800 fish.
Answer:
The correct option is a.
Step-by-step explanation:
The fish section of the store is 6 feet deep by 40 feet wide by 15 feet tall.
Length of the fish section=  L = 40 feet = 40 × 12 inch
( 1 Foot = 12 inch)
Width of the fish section = B =  15 feet = 15 × 12 inch
Height of fish section = H = 6 feet= 6 × 12 inch
Volume of the fish section = V = L × B × H
Each fish tank is 24 inches by 36 inches by 24 inches tall:
Length of fish tank ,l = 24 inches =
Width of fish tank,b = 36 inches
Height of fish tank,h = 24 inches
Volume of the each fish tank, v = l × b × h
Number of fish tanks be n.
[tex]n=\frac{V}{v}=\frac{40\times 12 inches\times 15\times 12 inches\times 6 \times 12 inches}{24 inches \times 36 inches\times 24 inches}[/tex]
[tex]n=300[/tex]
If each tank contains an average of 16 fish.Then total number of fishes in the tank:
= [tex]n\times 16 fishes=300\times 16 fishes=4800 fishes[/tex]
