According to the water surface area rule, a fish tank can be stocked with one inch of fish for each twelve square inches of
surface area. The fish that you are interested in putting in your
fish tank are each 2 inches. Your fish tank has a surface area of
576 square inches. According to the water surface area rule,
what is the maximum number of fish you can put in your tank?

24 fishes

Step-by-step explanation:

If for 1 inch of fish corresponds 12 square inches of  surface area, then for 2 inches correspond 24 square inches. Given that each fish is 2 inches, then for 1 fish 24 square inches of  surface area is needed. To know how many fish you can put in your tank, we need to solve the following proportion:

1 fish / x fish = 24 square inches / 576 square inches

x = 576/24

x = 24 fishes

step-by-step explanation:

1-16

2-32

4-64

8-128

all multiples of 16

solution:

→c= a b , that is product of a and b is possible only when when a is m × n matrix and b is n × p matrix.

that is, number of columns of a= number of rows of b.

so, size of matrix , c= a b is , if a = (m × n)matrix

b= (n × p)matrix

then a b = [ (m × n)matrix] ×[   (n × p)matrix ]

→→c= a b= [m × p ] matrix

→→size of product a b will be equal to = number of rows of a × number of columns of b
