Answer :

Acquarium A

First, let's find the area of the bottom

Area of the bottom = l x w = 4 x 2 = 8 square feet

Since Alice has 9 feet square and 9 is greater than 8, then Alice has enough to put the layer

Hence the answer is yes

Acquarium B

We need to find the area of the bottom of Acquarium B

Area = l x w = 6 x 3 = 18 square feet

Bob has 20 square feet to cover the bottom of aquarium B, since 20 is greater than 18, then Bob has enough layer to cover the bottom

Hence, the answer is yes

Acquarium C

let's first find the area of its bottom

Area = l x w = 3 x 2 = 6 square feet

Christy has 4 square feet to cover its bottom, but 4 is less than 6, hence he doesn't have enough pebble to cover its bottom

The answer is NO
