Terry and Bob each have an aquarium. Terry’s aquarium is 14 cm long, 12 cm high, and 10 cm wide. Bob’s aquarium is 13 cm long, 15 cm high and 8 cm wide. Whose aquarium holds the larger volume of water? Explain how you know.

Respuesta :

Find the volume of each tank by multiplying the length by the width by the height:

Terry: 14 x 12 x 10 = 1680 cubic cm.

Bob: 13 x 15 x 8 = 1560 cubic cm

Terry’s aquarium is larger and can hold more water.

Terry: 14 x 12 x 10 = 1680 cubic cm.

Bob: 13 x 15 x 8 = 1560 cubic cm

Terry’s aquarium is larger and can hold more water.
