Nadia wants to fill her rectangular fish tank. the tank measures 2 feet wide, 1 foot long, and 1.5 feet high. the water level in her fish tank needs to be 0.25 foot from the top. she uses a bucket that holds 1.25 cubic feet of water. how many buckets of water does nadia need to fill the fish tank?

Given that Nadia wants to fill her rectangular fish tank.

Length of the rectangular fish tank = 1 foot

Width of the rectangular fish tank = 2 feet

Height of the rectangular fish tank = 1.5 feet

But she wants to fill only 0.25 foot from the top. so the height of water in the tank = 1.5-0.25 = 1.25 feet

Then volume of the water in rectangular fish tank is givne by:

Volume = Length * Width * Height = 1*2*1.25= 2.5 cubic feet

Now we have to find how many buckets of water does Nadia need to fill the fish tank. So we just need to divide volume of water 2.5 cubic feet by volume of bucket 1.25 cubic feet

2.5/1.25 = 2

Hence final answer will be 2 bucket of water.

the answer is  

a.

28 ft2
