Answer: The water that overflows from the rectangular tank is 4.25 liters or 4250 milliliters.
Step-by-step explanation: To calculate the volume of the rectangular tank, we need to multiply its length, width, and height. The measurements are given in centimeters, so we need to convert the result to liters.
Volume of the rectangular tank = length × width × height
= 55 cm × 35 cm × 30 cm
Converting the volume to liters:
1 liter = 1000 cubic centimeters (cm³)
Volume of the rectangular tank = (55 cm × 35 cm × 30 cm) / 1000
= 57750 cm³ / 1000
= 57.75 liters
Mr. Tay emptied 62 liters of water into the rectangular tank. Since the tank's volume is only 57.75 liters, the excess water will overflow.
Overflow = Volume of water emptied - Volume of the rectangular tank
= 62 liters - 57.75 liters
= 4.25 liters
To convert the overflow from liters to milliliters:
1 liter = 1000 milliliters (ml)
Overflow in milliliters = 4.25 liters × 1000
= 4250 milliliters
