Answer:

36,864,000 tons

Explanation:

We first need to find the volume of the tank. We can do this by multiplying the dimensions of the tank together.


6.4*4.8*2=\boxed{61.44}

This means we must fill the tank with 61.44m³ of water. We now must convert m³ to cm³.

1 meter cubed is 1000000 centimeters cubed:


m^3 = m * m * m = 100cm * 100cm * 100cm = 1000000cm^3


61.44* 1000000 = 61440000

This means we must fill the tank with 61,440,000cm³ of water. This can be weighed as


61440000*0.6=36864000, meaning the water weighs 36,864,000 tons.

(why does 1cm³ of water weigh 0.6 tons)
