$height = 1 \frac{1}{2} f e e t$ $" height" = 1 1/2" feet$

Explanation:

Assuming the aquarium is a $cuboid$ $color(blue)"cuboid"$

Then it's volume $= l b h$ $=lbh$

where l is the length , b the breadth (width) and h, the height.

Now $volume = l b h = 9$ $" volume" =lbh=9$

$\Rightarrow h = \frac{9}{l b} = \frac{9}{3 \times 2} = \frac{9}{6} = \frac{3}{2} = 1 \frac{1}{2} = 1.5 feet$ $rArrh=9/(lb)=9/(3xx2)=9/6=3/2=1 1/2=1.5" feet"$
