A rectangular tank of length 4 metres and height `2 (1)/(2)` metres can contain 15000 litres of water. What is the breadth of the tank?

Explanation

If we find the procuct of length, breadth and height in metres, we get the volume in cubic,metres. Here the volumo.is giveń to be 15000 litres. That is 15 cubic metres. The product of length and height is `4 xx 2 (1)/(2)=10`
So, breadth multiplied by 10 is 15 . From this, we can calculate the width as `(15)/(10)=1 (1)/(2)` metre.
