A bottle of water is poured into a fish tank with
height=80cm,
width=20cm, and
length=15cm.
If the water bottle holds 750cm^3 of water, what will the depth of the water be after it is poured into the fish tank?
:
let h = the height of the water in the tank (assuming it is empty to start with)
20 * 15 * h = 750
300h = 750
h = 750/300
h = 2.5 cm is the depth of the water
