An empty rectangular tank measures 60 cm by 50 cm by 56 cm. It is being filled with water flowing from a tap at a rate of 8 liters per minute. How long will it take to fill up the tank? (1 liter = 1000 cm3)

Answer:

21 min

Explanation:

V = lwh

V = 60(50)(56) = 168000 cu. cm

8 liters = 8000 cu cm

168000/8000 = 21 min.
