Question

3. In step 1, you found the volume (in cubic feet) of the main tank. 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? You must explain your answer using words, and you must show all work and calculations to receive credit.

Answer 1

For this problem we need find how many killers can fit in the main show tank, so in order to do this we need the volume of the main show tank (359,007) and the maximum density of the killers whales (0.000011142). So in order to see how many killer whales will fit in the tank, we need to multiply the volume of the tank by the density of the killer whales.
359,007 * 0.000011142 = 4.000055994
Now we round our answer to the nearest whole number a get 4. Which means that the maximum number of killer whales that can fit in the main show tank is 4.
