Question 837627: How wide is a tank 3m long and 0.5m deep if it holds exactly one tonne of water?

1 tonne = 1000 kg; the density of water is 1 g/cm^3 which is equal to 1000 kg/m^3. So the volume of the tank is 1 m^3.
Assuming the tank is a rectangular prism, we have (3 m)(0.5 m)(x m) = 1 m^3 --> x = 0.667 m.
