The amount of water taht tank hold is the volume of the tank

SO, the volume of tank = 767ml

Since 1 militre = 1 cubic centimeter

So, 767 ml = 767 cubic cm

The tank is rectangle and the width =5.9cm

height of tank =10cm

The expression for the volume of rectangle is : (Length)(Width)(height)

Subtitute the value and solve for length


\begin{gathered} \text{L}* W* H=Volume \\ L*5.9*10=767 \\ L=(767)/(59)\text{ cm} \\ L=13\operatorname{cm} \end{gathered}

So, the length of the Tank is 13cm

Answer : A) 13 cm
