Question

Will the table and tank fit beneath a shelf that is 157.16 centimeters off the floor? If your answer is yes, how much room is there to spare? If your answer is no, how much more room is needed?

Option 1: Yes, there is 16.16 centimeters of room to spare.
Option 2: Yes, there is 3.16 centimeters of room to spare.
Option 3: No, 13.84 more centimeters of room are needed.
Option 4: No, 6.84 more centimeters of room are needed.

Answer 1

To establish if the table and tank fit under a shelf 157.16 cm high, we need the height of the objects. Otherwise, it's impossible to determine the clearance or the additional space required.

Step-by-step explanation:

The question appears to have missing information such as the height of the table and the gasoline tank. Without these measurements, it isn't possible to calculate if they will fit beneath a shelf that is 157.16 centimeters off the floor. To determine how much room is there to spare, or how much more room is needed, we require the total height of the table plus the tank. For mathematics problems involving measurements and calculations, all necessary dimensions must be provided for an accurate answer.

From the provided information, we know how to calculate the volume of a rectangular object, such as the gasoline tank mentioned. For example, we can determine the volume of the tank provided in example 1.6: Volume = length × width × height. The given measurements for the bathtub are in decimeters, which can be easily converted to liters (since 1 dm³ equals 1 liter), but without the height of the tank or the table, this formula cannot help us answer the initial question.
