Jeremy has a fish tank that has 40-cm by 70-cm rectangular base. The water is
25-cm deep. When he drops rocks into the tank, the water goes up by 2-cm.
What is the volume in liters of the rocks?
:
Find the volume of water displaced in cu/cm
:
40 * 70 * 2 = 5600 cu/cm
;
Convert cu/cm to liters:
5600%2F1000 = 5.6 liters
