Answer

V = 50.4 gal ( to three significant figures)

Work Step by Step

First we have to find the volume of aquarium than convert it to gallons. V = length x width x height V = 47.8 in x 12.5 in x 19.5 in V = 11,651.25 $in^{3}$ We can express this in gallons using conversion factor: $\frac{1 gal}{231 (in^{3})}$ V = 11,651.25 $in^{3}$ x $\frac{1 gal}{231 (in^{3})}$ V = 50.438 gal V = 50.4 gal ( to three significant figures)
