Explanation:

Step1: Calculate the volume of the container

The container is a rectangular prism. The volume formula for a rectangular prism is \(V = l\times w\times h\), where \(l = 20\space cm\), \(w=15\space cm\), \(h = 30\space cm\).

$$V=20\times15\times30$$

$$V = 9000\space cm^{3}$$

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

Since \(1\space L=1000\space cm^{3}\), we divide the volume in \(cm^{3}\) by \(1000\).

$$V=\frac{9000}{1000}=9.0\space L$$

Answer:

\(9.0\)
