Answer:
36,864,000 tons
Step-by-step explanation:
We first need to find the volume of the tank. We can do this by multiplying the dimensions of the tank together.
[tex]6.4*4.8*2=\boxed{61.44}[/tex]
This means we must fill the tank with 61.44m³ of water. We now must convert m³ to cm³.
1 meter cubed is 1000000 centimeters cubed:
[tex]m^3 = m * m * m = 100cm * 100cm * 100cm = 1000000cm^3[/tex]
[tex]61.44* 1000000 = 61440000[/tex]
This means we must fill the tank with 61,440,000cm³ of water. This can be weighed as
[tex]61440000*0.6=36864000[/tex], meaning the water weighs 36,864,000 tons.
(why does 1cm³ of water weigh 0.6 tons)
