A pet store has three fish tanks, each holding a different volume of water and a different number of fish. Tank AAA holds 40\text{ L}40 L40, start text, space, L, end text and 555 fish. Tank BBB holds 100\text{ L}100 L100, start text, space, L, end text and 121212 fish. Tank CCC holds 180\text{ L}180 L180, start text, space, L, end text and 232323 fish.

The tanks by volume per fish from least to greatest:

Tank C, Tank A, Tank B

Step-by-step explanation:

A pet store has three fish tanks, each holding a different volume of water and a different number of fish.

Order the tanks by volume per fish from least to greatest.

Tank A holds 40 L and 5 fish.

= 40L/5 fishes

= 8 volume per fish

Tank B holds 100 L and 12 fish

= 100L/12 fishes

= 8.3333333333 volume per fish

Tank C holds 180 L and 23 fish.

= 180L /23 fish

= 7.8260869565 volume per fish

The tanks by volume per fish from least to greatest

Tank C, Tank A, Tank B

step-by-step explanation:

12: 00 p.m. to 7: 00 p.m. is a total of 7 hours.

4: 00 p.m. to 7: 00 p.m. is a total of 3 hours.

this means that from 4: 00 p.m to 7: 00 p.m. this represents 3/7 of what was lost from 12: 00 p.m. to 7: 00 p.m.

after knowing this, after doing 11,600 - 6,800 = 4,800

4,800 represents 3/7 of what was lost for 7 hours.

we then divide 4,800 by 3 which gets 1,600.

because we know that 1,600 represents 1/7 of how much water was lost, we just have to multiply by 7, which gets 11,200.   after adding 11,200 to how much water was left at 7: 00 p.m. which was 6,800. 11,200 + 6,800 = 18,000

this means that the pool originally had 18,000 gallons in the pool.

you can also check your work by doing 18,000 - 4(1600), which becomes           1800 - 6400 which gets you 11,600.
