Answer 1

Given: A water tower has a volume of 874 m³

To Determine: How many liters of water it would take to completely fill the

water tower

Solution

Please note that 1 cubic meter (m³) = 1 kiloliter (KL)

Therefore

`\begin{gathered} 1m^3=1KL \\ 874m^3=xKL \\ Cross-multiply \\ x=874KL \end{gathered}`

Also note that Kilo means 1000

Therefore

`\begin{gathered} 874KL=874*1000L \\ =874000L \end{gathered}`

Hence, the water tower will be completely fill with 874000 liters(L)
