Alex bought a new aquarium. He is in the process of setting it up. The aquarium is in the shape of a right rectangular prism and the dimensions, in inches, are 367 x 19 x 24. During the set-up, Alex fills the aquarium with 6,039
ins of water.
What percent of the volume of the aquarium is filled with water? Round your answer to the nearest whole percent.
Enter your answer in the space provided.

4%

Step-by-step explanation:

Formula for volume of a right rectangular prism is;

V = lwh

Where;

l is length

w is width

h is height

We are given l = 367; w = 24; h = 19

Thus;

Volume is;

V_full = 367 × 24 × 19

V_full = 167352 in³

We are told that Alex filled the aquarium with 6039 in³ of water.

Thus, percentage of the aquarium filled with water is;

(6039/167352) × 100% = 3.61%

Approximating to nearest percent gives; 4%
