Question

A tank measures 5m x 4m x 1.5m. If 60m3 of water is poured into the tank, how high will the water level be?

Answer 1

Answer:

30m³

Step-by-step explanation:

Volume of tank = 5m × 4m × 1.5m = 30m³

Volume of water poured = 60m³

Hence, water above tank = (60-30) m³ = 30m³

Answer 2

Answer: 1.5 metre.

Step-by-step explanation:

I assume area of base of the tank 5x4 sq metre = 20 sq metre

So if 60 cubic metre water is poured the height should 60/20 = 3 metre

But tank’s height is lower and it is 1.5m. So height of water level will be 1.5 metre. Rest of water will overflow.
