The volume of the main tank is 1436026.6666666666666666666666667 feet³. If the maximum density of killer whales per cubic foot is 0.000011142, what is the maximum number of killer whales allowed in the main show tank at any given time?

WE can figure out the mass of killer whales, but not necessarily the quantity

alexandervonhumboldt2 · Answer

ok so how?

perl · Answer

density = (# killer whales) / volume

mertsj · Answer

$$1426026\frac{2}{3} ft^3 \times\frac{1.1142 \times 10^{-5}killer whales}{1 ft^3}$$

anonymous · Answer

OH, did they change density to whales/volume? lol

alexandervonhumboldt2 · Answer

no i think

alexandervonhumboldt2 · Answer

the same

alexandervonhumboldt2 · Answer

thats not relaistic but...

mertsj · Answer

yes.  Sorry for the typo...old age, old eyes

alexandervonhumboldt2 · Answer

@Mertsj  so thats the formula by which i can count right?

anonymous · Answer

Use @perl equation... multiply both sides by volume.

mertsj · Answer

It's just a unit conversion problem.  Convert a certain number of cubic feet to whales because you know the number of whales per cubic foot.

alexandervonhumboldt2 · Answer

so  0.000011142=#whales/436026.6666666666666666666666667  right?
