A tank measures 30 can by 60cm by 50cm. What is the height of water in the tank when 60000 ml of water are poured into it?
To find the height of water in the tank, we need to determine the volume of the tank and then calculate the height based on the amount of water poured in.
First, let's calculate the volume of the tank using the formula:
Volume = length × width × height
Given dimensions:
Length = 30 cm
Width = 60 cm
Height = ?
Volume = 30 cm × 60 cm × height
Next, convert the volume of water poured into the tank to the same unit as the tank's dimensions.
Since 1 liter is equal to 1000 milliliters (ml), 60,000 ml is equal to 60 liters.
Now, we can set up an equation to find the height of the water:
Volume of water = Volume of tank
60 liters = (30 cm) × (60 cm) × (height)
Simplifying the equation, we have:
60,000 ml = 1800 cm² × height
To find the height, divide both sides of the equation by 1800 cm²:
height = 60,000 ml / 1800 cm²
height ≈ 33.33 cm
Therefore, the height of the water in the tank when 60,000 ml of water are poured into it is approximately 33.33 cm.
You must mean 60000 ml^3.
60,000 ml^3 of water = 60,000 cm^3
(the beauty of the metric system)
you didn't state which of your data values are the height, I will assume it is the 50 cm
so let the height be h cm
Volume = 30(60)h cm^3
1800h = 60000
h = 100/3 cm or appr 33.3 cm
