an oilo slick 110 nm 1.0 * 10^6 square meters of ocean.How many liters of oil are in the slick
To calculate the number of liters of oil in the oil slick, we need to know the thickness of the slick in meters.
Let's assume that the thickness is given as 0.1 mm (which is a common estimate for oil slicks). We need to convert this thickness to meters by dividing it by 1000:
Thickness = 0.1 mm / 1000 = 0.0001 meters
Next, we calculate the volume of the oil slick in cubic meters:
Volume = Area × Thickness
Volume = 1.0 × 10^6 square meters × 0.0001 meters = 100 cubic meters
Finally, we convert the volume of the oil slick from cubic meters to liters by multiplying it by 1000:
Liters = Volume × 1000 = 100 cubic meters × 1000 = 100,000 liters
Therefore, there are 100,000 liters of oil in the slick.
