How many full gas cans will it take to fill the go cart's gas tank?

Answer 1

Answer: 8 liters can.

Explanation:

First we need to find the volume of the cart tank . Since it is in the shape of a rectangular prism we have to multiply the length by the width by the height to find the volume.

V= 40 * 25 * 8

V = 8000

Which means that the volume is 8000 cubic centimeters.

Now convert 8000 cubic centimeters to liter.

It gives us a hint that 1 liter is equal to 1000 cm^3

So to convert 8000 cubic centimeters to liters we will have to divide it by 1000.

8000/1000 = 8 liters.
