You can put this solution on YOUR website!
First find the volume of the fish tank:
V+=+W%2Ad%2Ah W = 80cm., d = 35cm., and h = 50cm., so...
V+=+%2880%29%2835%29%2850%29
V+=+140000cc.
Now you would apply the conversion factor of:
1000cc+=+1L One litre = 1,000 cu.cm. Divide 140,000cc by 1,000cc/litre to find the number if litres in the fish tank.
140000%2F1000+=+140litres.
