Arectangular container that has a length of 30 cm a width of 20 cm and her height of 24 cm is filled with water to a depth of 15 cm when an additional 6.5 l of water are poured into the container some water overflows. how many liters of water overflow the container?

1.1 L

Given:

A rectangular container that has:

It is filled with water to a depth of 15 cm.

When an additional 6.5 L of water are poured into the container, some water overflows.

Question:

How many liters of water overflow the container?

The Process:

Step-1: calculate the volume of rectangular container

The volume of rectangular container is 14,400 cm³, then converted to 14,4 L.

Step-2: calculate the volume of water filled in the container to a depth of 15 cm

The volume of water filled is 9,000³ cm, then converted to 9 L.

Step-3: calculate the volume of water overflow when an additional 6.5 L of water is poured into a container.

The volume of water overflow equals the initial water volume is added to the additional water volume then subtracted by the container volume.

The volume of water overflow =

Thus, the volume of water overflow of the container is 1.1 L.

Notes:

Keywords: a rectangular container, has a length of 30 cm, a width of 20 cm, height of 24 cm, is filled with water, to a depth of 15 cm, an additional 6.5 L of water, are poured into the container, some water overflows, the formula, volume

30 x 20 x 24 = 14400 cubic cm

30 x 20 x 15 = 9000 cubic cm

14400-9000 = 5400 cubic cm left

 1 cubic cm = 0.001 liters

5400x 0.001 = 5.4 liters

6.5-5.4 = 1.1 liters overflow
