Question

Find the volume of an oil container which is 20cm long ,22 cm wide and 30cm deep. It is filled with oil up to 1/5th if it’s volume. How much oil should be pumped into the tank ,to fill it completely?Give your answer in liters

Answer 1

Answer:

The volume of the oil container is 13200 cm³, and the amount of oil to be pumped into the tank to fill it completely is 10560 cm³

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for getting the volume of the container is given by:

Volume = Length × Width × Height

Doing the substitution we have:

Volume = 20 × 22 × 30 = 13200 cm³

The tank is only filled up to 1/5th.

So the remaining part to be filled is given by:

=1 - 1/5 = 4/5th of the tank.

So, the amount to be pumped into the tank to fill it completely is given by:

4/5 × 13200 = 10560 cm³
