A rectangular tank 3.6 m long, 2 m wide and 1.8 m high was 5/8 filled

per second. What was the volume of water left at the end of 1 minute?
:
Find the volume of the full tank:
3.6 * 2 * 1.8 = 12.96 cu/m
:
Find the volume if 5/8 full
5%2F8 * 12.96 = 8.1 cu/m
:
Find the volume after 1 min (60sec)
8.1 - 60(.06) =
8.1 - 3.6 = 4.5 cu/m
