Question

what is the capacity for the container below? (give answers in metric to the nearest tenth of a liter.)

Explanation:

Step1: Calculate the volume of the container

The container is a rectangular prism. The volume formula for a rectangular prism is \(V = l\times w\times h\). Here, \(l = 25\space cm\), \(w=16\space cm\), \(h = 10\space cm\). So \(V=25\times16\times10\).

Step2: Convert the volume from \(cm^{3}\) to liters

We know that \(1\space L=1000\space cm^{3}\). Let \(x\) be the volume in liters. Then \(x=\frac{V}{1000}\). Substitute \(V = 4000\space cm^{3}\) into the formula: \(x=\frac{4000}{1000}=4.0\space L\)

Answer:

\(4.0\space L\)
