Question 254457: A box shaped container has a 2m by 3m rectangular base. It is partially filled with water to a height of 0.5m. If 60L of water are added to the container, how much will the water rise?

We can find the current volume as
V = LxWxH or
V = 2x3x.5 = 3 m^3.
I think that 1 m^3 = 1 L.
So, 60m^3 = 60 L
It appears that we will increase our capacity by 60m^3.
