The area of the base of a rectangular tank is 6500 cm² and the volume of water contained in it is 2.6 cubic meters. The depth of water in the tank is:

  • A.3.5 m
  • B.4 m
  • C.5 m
  • D.6 m

Answer: B

Convert the volume to cubic centimetres to match the base area.

\[ 2.6 \text{ m}^{3} = 2.6 \times 1{,}000{,}000 = 2{,}600{,}000 \text{ cm}^{3} \]

\[ \text{depth} = \frac{2{,}600{,}000}{6500} = 400 \text{ cm} = 4 \text{ m} \]

A cubic metre is a million cubic centimetres, not ten thousand - the factor that decides the answer.
