Question

Cal's go cart has a gas tank with the dimensions shown below. He uses a gas can that holds 1 liter of gas, to fill the go cart tank. 1 liter = 100cm to the power of 3. How many full gas cans will it take to fill the go cart's gas tank?

Answer 1

8 cans

Explanation:

`V=lwh\\l=40\\w=25\\h=8\\V=(40)(25)(8)\\V=(1000)(8)\\V=8000^3\\(8000^3)/(1000^3) =8`

Since the volume is 8000 cm³ and 8000 cm³ divided by 1000 cm³ is equal to 8, the total cans it will take to fill up the go cart is 8 cans.
