Answer:
0 liters
Explanation:
The first step in solving this problem is to find the volume of water that was originally in the tank when it was filled up to of its height. Since the tank is rectangular, we can use the formula for the volume of a rectangular prism:
Volume of tank = length x width x height = 100 cm x 80 cm x 30 cm = 240,000 cm³
Since the tank was filled up to of its height, the volume of water in the tank at this point is:
Volume of water in tank = 100 cm x 80 cm x 30 cm x 0.5 = 1,200,000 cm³
To find the amount of water that was poured into the tank to fill it up to 3 of its height, we need to subtract the volume of water that was originally in the tank from the total volume of water when it is 3 filled, which is 384 liters or 384,000 cm³ (since 1 liter = 1000 cm³):
Volume of water poured into tank = Volume of water when 3 filled - Volume of water in tank at of its height
= 384,000 cm³ - 1,200,000 cm³
= -816,000 cm³
Wait a minute, this result is negative, which means there was no water poured into the tank to reach the 3 filled level. In fact, it suggests that there was an excess of water that had to be removed from the tank to reach the desired level. This could be because the dimensions of the tank were not exact or because the tank was not level when filled to the first level.
Therefore, the answer to the problem is 0 liters or 0 cm³.
Note: It is important to always check the result of a calculation to ensure it makes sense in the context of the problem. In this case, the negative volume of water poured into the tank indicates that there may be an error in the problem statement or in the measurements provided.
