Question

There is an aquarium that is shaped as a cube and each edge is 12 centimeters long. It contains 1.40 liters of water. How much more water is needed to fill the aquarium completely

Answer 1

Answer:

$0.328\ l$

Step-by-step explanation:

Remember that

$1\ l=1,000\ cm^{3}$

step 1

Find the volume of the aquarium

The volume is equal to

$V=b^{3}$

we have

$b=12\ cm$

substitute

$V=(12)^{3}=1,728\ cm^{3}$

step 2

Convert to liters

$1,728\ cm^{3}=1,728/1,000=1.728\ l$

step 3

Calculate how much more water is needed to fill the aquarium completely

Find the difference between the volume of the aquarium and the water that contains the aquarium

$1.728\ l-1.40\ l=0.328\ l$
