The volume of a tank is given by the following formula:


V=l* w* h

Where l is the length, w is the width and h is the height.

From this formula, we can solve for l to get:


l=(V)/(w* h)

First, we need to rewrite the given mixed fractions for the width and height, like this:

w = 16 + 2/3 = 50/3

h = 2 + 4/5 = 14/5

By replacing these values and 525 for V into the above expression, we get:


l=(525)/((50)/(3)*(14)/(5))=(45)/(4)

Then, the length of the tank equals 11.25 feet
