The formula to calculate the gallons of water an aquarium can hold is:
\[ \text{G} = L \cdot W \cdot H \cdot 0.004329 \]
Where:
Aquarium gallons refer to the capacity or size of an aquarium, measured in gallons. It indicates the amount of water the aquarium can hold. The size of the aquarium is crucial as it determines the number and type of aquatic creatures it can accommodate. Larger aquariums can support more fish and provide a more stable environment, while smaller ones may require more maintenance and careful monitoring.
Example:
Step 1: Calculate the volume in cubic inches:
\[ \text{Volume} = 30 \cdot 12 \cdot 18 = 6480 \text{ in}^3 \]
Step 2: Convert cubic inches to gallons:
\[ \text{G} = 6480 \cdot 0.004329 \approx 28.05 \text{ gallons} \]
