Tony thinks his pet goldfish , finn, might be lonely. so, tony buys another goldfish to keep finn company. he also buys a large 10-gallon tank so the fish can swim together. if finn currently lives in a 2-quart fish bowls, how many times bigger is his new tank than his old bowl?

20 times bigger.

Step-by-step explanation:

A quart is a liquid unit of measurement that is equal to a quarter of a gallon. Given that, 2-quarts is equal to half of a gallon (0.5-gallon). Now, you just need to divide the volume of the new tank by the volume of the old one.

10-gallons/0.5-gallons = 20

The new tank is 20 times bigger than the old bowl.
