The pet store will inspect the aquarium to make sure that the fish are being kept in a healthful environment. One of the main concerns is that each fish has enough water. Abdul looks up the amount of water needed for the species of fish he plans to raise. He finds the answer, but it is given in cubic inches. (a) Find the volume of water that the tank holds in cubic inches. Use the table of conversion facts, as needed. Conversion facts for length 1 foot (A) = 12 inches (in) 1 yard (yd) = 3 feet (ft) 1 yard (yd) = 36 inches (in) (b) The particular species Abdul plans to raise requires at least 470 in of water per fish. If there is any amount less than this, no matter how much less, the pet store will not accept Abdul's fish. What is the largest whole number of fish that he can keep in the aquarium? (c) The pet store will pay $1.89 for each fish. If he fully populates his aquarium and sells ali the fish, how much money will he collect?
