A rectangular fish tank is 50 cm long, 40 cm wide, and 30 cm high.

a) how many cubic centimeters of water will the tank hold?


b) how many milliliters of water will the tank hold?


c) how many liters of water will the tank hold?

Answer 1

a) 60,000 cubic cm; b) 60,000 mL; c) 60 L

Explanation:

a) V = l x w x h

V = 50 cm x 40 cm x 30 cm = 60,000 cubic cm

b) 1 cubic cm = 1 mL, therefore 60,000 cubic cm = 60,000 mL

c) 1000 mL = 1 L; 60,000 mL = 60 L
