Answer 3

1. Riley noticed an aquarium in his father’s office. The aquarium had the dimensions 16 in. by 8.5 in. by 10.5 in. The formula for volume is: V = l × w × h.

Answer 4

Answer 5

1428

@campbell_st

Answer 8

ok @Clonetroooper78 now multiply each dimension by 3

Answer 9

v = 1428

Answer 10

16 x 3? u mean that?

Answer 11

yea

Answer 12

ok... so that is the smaller tank... the question says the dimensions of the larger tank are tripled..

so length = 16 x 3
width = 8.5 x 3
height = 10.5 x 3

find these measurements and then find the volume...

does that make sense

Answer 13

ys it does make sense

so

16 x 3 = 48

8.5 x 3 = 25.5
and
10.5 x 3 = 31.5

Answer 14

38556
