A rectangular tank has a base that is 10cm by 5cm and a height of 20cm.
If the tank is half full of water, by how many cm will the water level rise if 325 cubic centimeter of water are poured into the tank?
:
let h = the height of the added water
10 * 5 * h = 325
50h = 325
h = 325/50
h = 6.5 cm the water will rise
