<PRE><B>Question 212671</B>
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= (2m*100cm/1m)(50 cm)(200mm*1cm/10mm)}}}


{{{V= (200cm)(50cm)(20cm)}}}


{{{V=200000cm^3}}}


Step 3.  Now convert from cm^3 to liters


{{{V=200000cm^3(1 liter/1000cm^3)}}}


{{{V=200}}} liters


Step 4.  Volume is 200 liters.


I hope the above steps were helpful. 

 

Good luck in your studies!
