I'll Give brainliest to who ever answers. A milk tank at a a dairy farm has the form of a rectangular prism. The tank is 3.5 feet wide. The width of the tank is 5/7 of its length and the height is 4/5 of its width. How many cubic feet of milk can the tank hold. How many pounds of milk can it hold if 1 cubic foot of milk weights 66.5 lb

Let me try but I can't guarantee a right answer.

//

[tex]volume = lwh[/tex]

//

[tex]width = 3.5( \frac{5}{7}) [/tex]

[tex]width = 2.5 \: feet[/tex]

//

[tex]height = 2.5( \frac{4}{5})[/tex]

[tex]height = 2 \: feet[/tex]

//

[tex]volume = lwh[/tex]

[tex]volume = (3.5)(2.5)(2.0)[/tex]

[tex]volume = 17.5 \: cubic \: feet[/tex]

[tex]the \: tank \: can \: hold \: 17.5 \: cubic \: feet \: of \: milk[/tex]

//

[tex]pounds = 1 \: cubic \: foot = 66.5 \: pound[/tex]

[tex]pounds = 66.5(17.5)[/tex]

[tex]pounds = 1163.75[/tex]

[tex]the \: tank \: can \: hold \: 1163.75 \: pounds \: of \: milk[/tex]

Edit:

I think I misread something.

I assumed that 3.5 is the length but if It's not, just redo the calculations of the width, length, and height but the process after that should be the same. Just change the wrong numbers.

//

New calculations

3.5 / (5/7) = 4.9

The length is 4.9 feet

3.5(4/5) = 2.8

The height is 2.8 feet.

(4.9)(3.5)(2.8) = 48.02

The tank can hold cubic feet of milk

66.5(48.02) = 3193.33

The tank can hold 3193.33 pounds of milk

I might've been right the first time and I'm just doubting myself but just in case, I did another set of calculations.
