a certain species of fish require 1.5 cubic feet of water per fish to maintain a healthy environment. Find the maximum number of fish you could put in a tank measuring 9 feet by 3 feet by 3 feet.
Answer provided by our tutors
let 'x' represent the number of fish that can be placed in the tank, x is integer
the volume of the tank measuring 9 feet by 3 feet by 3 feet is:
V = 9*3*3
V = 81 ft^3
1.5x <= 81
by solving we find:
x <= 54
