Answer:

It will hold 200 Litres of water

Explanation:

To find the number of litres of water the fish tank can hold, we will follow the steps below;

Write down the formula for calculating its volume

V = l×w×h

where v = volume of the tank

w=width of the tank

l = length of the tank

From the question given;

w= 50 cm = 0.5 m

height h = 20 cm = 0.2 m

l = 2 m

V= l×w×h

= 2×0.5×0.2

=0.2 m³

we can now change it to liters

V = 0.2 m³ × 1000 = 200 L

It will hold 200 Litres of water
