Question

A tank has square base, with sides the length of each 1 meter. the height of the tank is 1.2 meter. the tank is filled with fabric softener to mark of 20 centimeter from the top. if there is no wastage, calculate the maximum number of 750ml bottles that can be filled with fabric softener from the tank

Answer 1

Convert all to cm:

1 m = 100 cm

1.2 m = 120 cm

20 cm = 20 cm

.

Find the height:

120 - 20 cm = 100 cm

.

Find the volume :

Volume = Length x Breadth x Height

Volume = 100 x 100 x 100 = 1 000 000 cm³

.

Convert cm³ to ml:

1 000 000 cm³ = 1 000 000 ml

.

Find number of 750 ml bottles:

1 000 000 ÷ 750 = 1333 bottles with 250 ml remaining

.

Answer: It can fill a maximum of 1333 bottles.
