Question

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

In order to find the maximum number of killer whales to be able to be in the main show tank you will need to multiply the volume of the main show tank by the maximum density of the killer whales.

Answer 2

So what is the volume of the main tank?

Answer 3

Wait would it be 4.000055994

Answer 4

Wait one sec...

Hmmm in question 2 it wants the volume of both tanks not of each individual tank so you would multiply 42,390 by 2 to find the volume of them both....

Answer 5

I have to put it into words, how would I say it?

Answer 6

Hmmm...

"With 42,390 ft^3 being the volume of each individual tank my objective is to find the volume of both tanks so I would multiply 42.390 ft^3 by 2 to find the volume of both tanks"

~ this is for question 2

Answer 7

Was that alright?

Answer 8

And the total of maximum whales would in fact be 4.

Answer 9

Thank you so much, okay so i would multiply 4 by 0.000011142 and get 0.000044568

Answer 10

No, you would infact multiply 0.000011142 by 359,007

Answer 11

And No Problem ^^

Answer 12

doesnt the whales density need to be factored in. (sorry i am not very good at math)

Answer 13

The what density is 0.000011142 and the main show volume is 359,007 so they were factored in ^^

Answer 14

whale*

Answer 15

Oh wow nvm i see i was being an idiot. okay so 4.000055994

Answer 16

Correct ^^

Answer 17

Do you have any other questions?

Answer 18

Nope. Thank you so much like you dont even understand. Wait are you in flvs.

Answer 19

Nope im in CA....but i know others who are in FLVS and have had this problem before at least 6 others....im glad I was extremely helpful....if you ever need help in the future and see me on just tag me in your questions ^^

Answer 20

I will, Thanks again

Answer 21

Np ^^

Answer 22

Hey would number 2 come out to be 84.78?

Answer 23

Well each tank measures to be \(\LARGE{42,390ft^{3}}\) in which we would multiply by 2 to get \(\LARGE{84,780 ft^{3}}\).....

I saw that I acidentally put a decimal in between 42 and 390 which might have made you think it was a decimal while in fact it was not...sorry for the mistake

Answer 24

Ok okay, so It would be 84,780 ft^3 after multiplying them by 2?

Answer 25

Correct ^^

Answer 26

Awesome Thank you so very much !!!!

Answer 27

Np :D

Answer 28

I am very sorry to bother you again, but how did you figure out that it can hold 4 killer whales

Answer 29

To find the maximum number of killer whales allowed in the main show tank you will need to multiply the volume of the main show tank by the maximum density of the killer whales.

Answer 30

We found that out by multiplying the volume of the show tank (359,007 ft^3) and the maximum density of the whales (0.000011142 cubic feet).

Answer 31

Ok, so we round it to four, or should I leave it at 4.000055994

Answer 32

Round it to 4 since you cant have a fraction-of a fraction- of a fraction of a whale :P

Answer 33

Oh that makes sence. Thanks AGAIN... sorry I think I have it now. :/

Answer 34

Np ^^
