Question

Water flows at a steady rate from a tap.

it takes 50 seconds to fill a 5 litre watering can from this tap.
the rate of which water flows from the tap is halved.
complete:
5 litres = ...... cm³
(where the dots are I need an answer)

Answer 1

5000

Explanation:

The question is related to conversion of units between litres and
`cm^(3)`.

1 litre is equivalent to 1 cubic decimetre.

1 decimetre = 10 centimetre

Converting cubic decimetre to cubic centimetre:

1 cubic decimetre = (10 * 10 * 10) cubic centimetre

Or, 1 cubic decimetre = 1000 cubic centimetre

In other words, 1 litre = 1000 cubic centimetre

Therefore, 5 litre = 5* 1000 cubic centimetre = 5000 cm³
