The volume of a fish tank is 20 cubic feet. If the density is 0.2 (fish over feet cubed), how many fish are in the tank?

2
4
50
100

Respuesta :

0.2 per 1 cubic feet
times 20
4 per 20 cubic feet


4 fish

Answer:

B. 4

Step-by-step explanation:

We have been given that the volume of a fish tank is 20 cubic feet. The density is 0.2 (fish over feet cubed). We are asked to find the number of fish in the tank.

We will use density formula to solve our given problem.

[tex]\text{Density}=\frac{\text{Mass}}{\text{Volume}}[/tex]

Substituting our given values in above formula we will get,

[tex]\frac{0.2\text{ fish}}{\text{ft}^3}=\frac{\text{Mass}}{20\text{ ft}^3}[/tex]

[tex]\frac{0.2\text{ fish}}{\text{ft}^3}\times 20\text{ ft}^3=\frac{\text{Mass}}{20\text{ ft}^3}\times 20\text{ ft}^3[/tex]

[tex]\frac{0.2\text{ fish}}{\text{ft}^3}\times 20\text{ ft}^3=\text{Mass}[/tex]

[tex]0.2\text{ fish}\times 20=\text{Mass}[/tex]

[tex]4\text{ fish}=\text{Mass}[/tex]

Therefore, there are 4 fish in the tank and option B is the correct choice.
