Question

A rectangular tank measuring 50 cm x 30 cm x 60 cm was completely filled with water. 1 5 of the water in the tank was transferred to another tank. How much water was there left in the tank after the transfer?

Answer 1

72,000cm³

Explanation:

Volume of the rectangular tank = Length * Width * Height

Given

Length = 50cm

Width = 30cm

Height = 60cm

Get the volume:

Volume = 50*30*60

Volume = 90,000cm³

Hence the volume of the rectangular tank is 90,000cm³.

If 1/5 of the volume of water was transferred to another tank, the volume transferred will be:

Amount transferred = 1/5 * 90,000

Amount transferred = 18000cm³

Amount left in the tank = 90,000 - 18,000

Amount of water left in the tank = 72,000cm³
