Explanation:

The volume of the rectangular fish tank is:

V = l x w x h = 60 cm x 15 cm x 34 cm = 30,600 cm³

Since the tank is 1/3 full, the volume of water in the tank is:

V_water = (1/3) x V = (1/3) x 30,600 cm³ = 10,200 cm³

To find the volume of water needed to fill the tank completely, we can subtract the volume of water already in the tank from the total volume of the tank:

V_needed = V - V_water = 30,600 cm³ - 10,200 cm³ = 20,400 cm³

Therefore, 20,400 cm³ of water is needed to fill the tank completely.
