A fish tank 60 cm long, 40 cm wide and 30 cm high is three quarters full of water.
Find the volume of the water in cu/cm
V = 60 * 40 * (30)
V = 2400 * 22.5
V = 54000 cu/cm
:
All the water is poured into a second tank 75 cm long and 24 cm wide.
Find the height of water in the second tank.
let h = the height of the water in this tank
h * 75 * 24 = 54000
1800h = 54000
h = 54000/1800
h = 30 cm is the height of the water in this tank
