What is the volume in liters of a rectangular tank which measures 2.0m by 50cm by 200mm?

Step 1. We note that 1000 cm^3 = 1 liter, 1 m = 100 cm and 1 cm = 10 mm

Step 2 Let V=Volume = 2 m x 50 cm x 200 mm

Step 3. Do conversions in cm

V=+%282m%2A100cm%2F1m%29%2850+cm%29%28200mm%2A1cm%2F10mm%29

V=+%28200cm%29%2850cm%29%2820cm%29

V=200000cm%5E3

Step 3. Now convert from cm^3 to liters

V=200000cm%5E3%281+liter%2F1000cm%5E3%29

V=200 liters

Step 4. Volume is 200 liters.

I hope the above steps were helpful.

Good luck in your studies!
