    2.8 feet high

    Step-by-step explanation:

    The volume of water required for the 7 fish is ...

    (7 fish) (0.5 ft³/fish) = 3.5 ft³

    The height of the water required is computed using the formula for the volume of a cuboid:

    volume = length * depth * height

    3.5 ft³ = (2.5 ft) * (0.5 ft) * height

    height = (3.5 ft³) / (1.25 ft²) = 2.8 ft

    Chantel should fill the water in the tank to a height of 2.8 feet.
