Question

A Kerosene trader has got an iron tank measuring 1 cm x 80 cm x 60 cm. If this tank is filled with Kerosene, how many litres of Kerosene would it contain?

Answer 1

Volume of the kerosene in the tank is equal to the volume of the tank.

For calculating volume of the tank,

Length = 1 cm.

Breadth = 80 cm.

Height = 60 cm.

∴ Volume = 1 × 80 × 60 = 4800 cm²

Now, we need to convert it into litres.

∵ 1 litres = 1000 cm³.

∴ 4800 cm³ = 4.8 litres.

Hence, the volume of the kerosene in the tank is 4.8 litres.

Hope it helps.

Answer 2

Acc to the ques, a Kerosene trader has got an iron tank measuring 1 cm x 80 cm x 60 cm.

The question asked is if this tank is filled with Kerosene, how many litres of Kerosene would it contain?

So, we have to find the volume of the tank, and from there we can get the solution.

Therefore, Volume of the tank = 1 x 80 x 60 = 4800 cm³.

we know that 1cm³ = 0.001 L

or, 4800 cm³ = 4.8L.

Therefore, the tank would contain 4.8L of kerosene.
