You can put this solution on YOUR website!
the capacity of the tank is 10 * 8 * 5 = 400 cubic meters.

the tank is filled to 10 * 8 * 3 = 240 cubic meters.

there is room for 400 - 240 = 160 cubic meters more.

1 cubic meter is equal to 1000 liters.

160 cubic meters is equal to 160 * 1000 = 160,000 liters.

your solution is that there is room for 160,000 more liters of water.
