Question

Ebonae's fish tank holds 40 gallons. How many quarts does the fish tank hold?

Answer 1

Ebonae's fish tank holds `160` quarts.

Explanation:

You can solve this by logic.

Each gallon is equal to `4` quarts.

`1` gallon = `4` quarts

therefore
`40` gallons = `4(40)` quarts

`40` gallons = `160` quarts `larr` answer

You can also solve this as a Dimensional Analysis problem

# (4 quarts)/cancel(gallon) xx 40 cancel(gallons) = 4 xx 40 quarts =160 quarts# `larr` same answer

`color(white)(mmmmmmm)`――――――――

A `40` gallon aquarium is often called a "breeder aquarium."

Here's a video of a `40`-gallon aquarium

It's `36` inches wide by `18` inches high by `16` inches deep.
