Answer :

Answer:

  a) gallons

  b) gallons

Step-by-step explanation:

a)

1 fluid ounce is about 6 teaspoons or 30 cubic centimeters or 1.8 cubic inches. 2.3×10^4 fluid ounces is less than 1 cubic yard. We suspect the pool is much larger than that, so its volume is probably measured in gallons.

__

b)

Of the units listed, only teaspoons and gallons are units of volume. As we saw in the previous problem, a teaspoon is a pretty small volume in relation to the size of most fish tanks. The appropriate unit of measure would be gallons.
