    Answer: 60 fishes.

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Hi, to answer this question, first, we have to apply the next formula:

    Volume of a rectangular prism = length x width x height = 50x20x30 = 30,000 in3

    Now, we have the volume of the aquarium.

    Next we have to multiply the volume by the number of fishes per cubic inch (0.002)

    30,000 x 0.002 = 60 fishes

    The greatest number of fish that should be in one aquarium is 60

    Feel free to ask for more if needed or if you did not understand something.
