Question

The rainfall on a certain day was 12 cm . How many liters of water fell on 3 hectares on land that day

Answer 1

Rainfall (h) = 12cm = 0.12m

area = 3 hectares = 30000 m^2

volume of rainfall = area × h

=> V = 30000×0.12 = 3600 m^3

1 m^3 = 1000 litres

3600 m^3 = 3600 × 1000 = 3.6 × 10^6 litre

Hence, 3.6 million litres of water fell on the field that day.
