Recall the formulas for the volume of a cylinder and of a cube.
About 45 cans.
To answer how many cans are needed to fill an aquarium, we first need to find the volumes of both figures. After that, we will divide the volume of the cube by the volume of the cylinder to find the necessary number of cans. Let's start!
With these two volumes we are able to answer the question. To do this, we need do divide the volume of the cube by the volume of the cylinder. Volume of the aquarium/Volume of the can=3375/75.4≈ 45 Therefore, it will take about 45 cans to fill the aquarium.
