Answer 3

The formula for surface area of a rectangular prism is attached below. ^.^
After using the formula, we see that the surface area of the smaller aquarium is 786.5 and the surface area of the larger one is 7078.5. So it's 9 times bigger. Riley is incorrect, again, Lol. :)

Answer 4

so what i do is 7078.5/9?

Answer 5

Well, we divided the two volumes, 7078.5 by 786.5, and that told us that the larger one is 9 times bigger. Nothing left to be done!:)
