To solve this problem, we need to:

1. Calculate the volume of the tank in cubic centimeters.
2. Convert the volume from cubic centimeters to gallons.
3. Determine how many fish Sam can keep based on the number of gallons.

### Step 1: Calculate the Volume of the Tank
The volume of a cuboid is calculated using the formula:

\[
\text{Volume} = \text{length} \times \text{width} \times \text{height}
\]

Given:
- Length = 100 cm
- Width = 30 cm
- Height = 30 cm

\[
\text{Volume} = 100 \, \text{cm} \times 30 \, \text{cm} \times

Sam buys a fish tank in the shape of a cuboid with dimensions 100 cm by 30 cm by 30 cm. He wants to know if he can keep 36 small fish in it, knowing that 1000 cm³ = 1 litre, 4.5 litres = 1 gallon, and that he can keep 2 small fish per gallon of water. Is he correct?

Solve a math problem involving volume calculation and unit conversion to determine if a fish tank with dimensions 100 cm × 30 cm × 30 cm can hold 36 fish. This question covers volume of cuboids, unit conversions from cm³ to gallons, and a ratio-based calculation for determining fish capacity. Suitable for Grades 5-7.
