Algebra.Com's Answer #504675 by richard1234(7193)![]() ![]() You can put this solution on YOUR website! 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.\r \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Assuming the tank is a rectangular prism, we have (3 m)(0.5 m)(x m) = 1 m^3 --> x = 0.667 m. \n" ); document.write( " |
