a fish tank in the shape of a rectangular prism has dimensions of 14 inches,16 inches,and 10 inches. the tank contains 1680 cubic inches of water.what percent of the fish tank is empty? 1)10 2)25 3)50 4)75

Verified Answer :

2) 25

The total capacity of the tank can be found by finding the volume
V = l x h x w
V = 14 x 16 x 10
V = 2240 cubic inches

The tank only has 1680 cubic inches of water in it

1680/2240 = 0.75
x100% = 75% full

This leaves 25% of the fish tank empty

apologiabiology

so
1 find volume
2 divide how much is acuall in there by volume
3. convert to percent


V=LWH
V=141610
V=2240

1680 is actually ful
1680/2240=3/4=0.75
percent means parts out of 100

0.75/1 times 100/100=75/100=75%

total-actuall=emptu
10075=25

answer is 25%
