Answer:

11.25 yards

Explanation:

The first thing we must do is see what the volume of the tank would be, which due to the measurements they give us would be:

v = height * width * length

We are asked to calculate the length, therefore:

length = v / (width * height)

volume equals 525, width 16 2/3 (16.67) and height 2 4/5 (2.8), replacing:

length = 525 / (16.67 * 2.8)

length = 11.25

Which means that the length is 11.25 yards
