For rectangular tanks, this space is calculated by multiplying its three dimensions: length, width, and height (or depth). In this case, we multiply the tank&#8217;s dimensions, all in centimeters: 250\u2009cm\u00d7160\u2009cm\u00d780\u2009cm=3,200,000\u2009cm3250 \\, \\text{cm} \\times 160 \\, \\text{cm} \\times 80 \\, \\text{cm} = 3,200,000 \\, \\text{cm}^3<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, the options provided are in <strong>litres<\/strong>, not in cubic centimeters. To convert between these two units, we use the fact that: 1&nbsp;litre=1000&nbsp;cm31 \\text{ litre} = 1000 \\text{ cm}^3<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So we divide 3,200,000 cm\u00b3 by 1000 to get: 3,200,0001000=3200&nbsp;litres\\frac{3,200,000}{1000} = 3200 \\text{ litres}<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This tells us that the tank can hold 3200 litres of water when full.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Understanding unit conversion is essential when dealing with real-world problems like measuring water in tanks. While centimeters are useful for measuring small distances, litres are more appropriate for liquids. By using simple multiplication and unit conversion, you can easily switch between volume in cubic centimeters and litres.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Thus, the volume of the tank is <strong>3200 litres<\/strong>, making option <strong>E<\/strong> the correct choice.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Find the volume of a water tank which is 250cm long, 160cm wide and 80cm deep.
