The width of the aquarium is 0.1625 ft.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given,
The length (l) of the aquarium = 2 ft
Height (h) = 1.5 ft
The capacity of water it holds = 3.75 gallons
That means the volume (V) = 3.75 gallon
To find the width(b) of the aquarium.
Formula
- The volume of a cuboid with l as length, b as width and h as height = lbh
So,
V = 3.75×0.13 cube ft
According to the problem,
2×1.5×b = 3.75×0.13
or, b = (3.75×0.13)÷(2×1.5)
or, b = 0.1625 ft
Hence,
The width of the aquarium is 0.1625 ft.
