Answer: Initial water level: 3 feet
Final water level: 3 feet 8 inches = 3.67 feet ( converted 8 inches to 0.67 feet)
Volume of water displaced = Volume of 6 fish
Let's find the volume of water displaced:
Volume of water displaced = Area of tank × Height of water displaced = ( unknown ) × (3.67 - 3) = ( unknown ) × 0.67
Since we don't know the area of the tank, let's call it "A". Then:
Volume of water displaced = A × 0.67
This volume is equal to the sum of the volume of the 6 fish. Let's call the volume of one fish "V". Then:
A × 0.67 = 6V
To find the volume of one fish, divide both sides by 6:
V = (A × 0.67) / 6
Since we don't know the area of the tank, we can't find the exact volume of one fish. However, we can express the sum of the volume of the 6 fish as:
6V = A × 0.67
If you provide the area of the tank, we can find the exact volume of the 6 fish.
