One cubic foot of water weighs about 62.4 pounds. how many pounds of water can the fish tank hold when it is full? length is 2.5, width is 1, and height is 1.5 i need answer this question and explain pls

234 lb  

Step-by-step explanation:

Data:

D = 62.4 lb/ft³

 l = 2.5 ft  

w = 1 ft

h = 1.5 ft

Calculations:

Step 1. Find the volume of the fish tank

The formula for the volume V of a rectangular solid is

V = lwh

  = 2.5 ft × 1 ft × 1.5 ft

  = 3.75 ft³

Step 2. Calculate the mass of the water

Density = mass/volume

        D = m/V     Multiply each side by V

        m = V×D

           = 3.75 ft³ × (62.4 lb/1 ft³)

           = 234 lb
