Answer 1

Answer:

Terry

Explanation:

• Terry’s aquarium is 14 cm long, 12 cm high, and 10 cm wide.

,

• Bob’s aquarium is 13 cm long, 15 cm high and 8 cm wide.

To determine whose aquarium holds the larger volume of water, find the volume of each of the aquariums.

$\begin{gathered} \text{ Volume of Terry's Aquarium}=14\times10\times12=1680\;cm^3 \\ \text{Volume of 's Aquarium}=13\times15\times8=1560\;cm^3 \end{gathered}$

The volume of Terry's aquarium is larger, thus, Terry's aquarium holds a larger volume of water.
