Answer:
The quantity of oil in the tank is 12,000 liters
Explanation:
Firstly, we find the volume of the tank.
The tank is a cuboid, so we find the volume of a cuboid.
Kindly understand that when finding the volume of the cuboid, we shall not use the height of 3m.
This is because the tank is not full but it is to a height of 1.2m
So mathematically, the volume is calculated as follows;
V = l * b * h
where b = 5m , l = 2m and h = 1.2m
Thus the volume would be ;
V = 5 * 2 * 1.2
V = 12 m^3
But that’s not the quantity of oil.
From the question, 1 cubic meters contains 1000 liters of oil
So 12 cubic meter will contain = 12 * 1000 = 12,000 liters of oil
