Question

a rectangular fish tank 60 centimeters by 15 centimeters by 34 centimeters is 1/3 full of water. find the volume of water needed to fill the tank completly.​

Answer 1

`20,400\ cm^(3)`

Explanation:

step 1

Find the volume of the tank

`V=(60)(15)(34)=30,600\ cm^(3)`

step 2

we know that

If the tank is 1/3 full of water

then

the volume of water required to completely fill the tank is equal to 2/3 of the tank capacity

so

`(2/3)30,600=20,400\ cm^(3)`
