Given: A water tower has a volume of 874 m³
To Determine: How many liters of water it would take to completely fill the
water tower
Solution
Please note that 1 cubic meter (m³) = 1 kiloliter (KL)
Therefore
[tex]\begin{gathered} 1m^3=1KL \\ 874m^3=xKL \\ Cross-multiply \\ x=874KL \end{gathered}[/tex]Also note that Kilo means 1000
Therefore
[tex]\begin{gathered} 874KL=874\times1000L \\ =874000L \end{gathered}[/tex]Hence, the water tower will be completely fill with 874000 liters(L)
