Question

Water is poured into container A so that it’s 2/3 full.

Container A is then poured into container B
Calculate the depth of the water in B

if you can’t see the picture they are the measurements:

A(H =12cm W=8cm D=8cm)

B(H=8cm W=10cm D=10cm)

Answer 1

Explanation:

Volume of Container A

= (8cm)(8cm)(12cm) = 768cm³.

Volume of water = 2/3 * Volume of Container A

= (2/3) * 768cm³ = 512cm³.

Base Area of Container B

= (10cm)(10cm) = 100cm².

Hence Depth of water in Container B

= 512cm³ / 100cm² = 5.12cm.
