Question 1205355
.
a tin contains 8 litre of oil. 3/4 of the oil was poured into an empty rectangular container 
with a base area of 300 cm^2. if the container was 5/6 filled at the end, find the height of the container.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~


<pre>
3/4 of 8 liters is 6 liters, or 6000 cm^3.


The height of the oil in the container with the base os 300 cm^2 is  {{{6000/300}}} = 20 cm.


Since these 20 cm are 5/6 od the container height, hence
the container height is  {{{(6/5)*20}}} = 6*4 = 24 cm.    <U>ANSWER</U>
