A water tank in the shape of a cuboid has a length of 1.5 meters and a width of 1.0 meters. How many liters of water are in the tank if the water is 60 centimeters deep?
Explanation
Volume of the tank = Length * Width * Height
First, we need to convert the depth from centimeters to meters:
60 cm = 0.6 m
Now, we can calculate the volume:
Volume = 1.5 m * 1.0 m * 0.6 m = 0.9 cubic meters
1 cubic meter is equal to 1000 liters.
So, 0.9 cubic meters = 0.9 * 1000 = 900 liters.
Therefore, there are 900 liters of water in the tank.
