If an ice block 10 centimeters wide,10 centimeters high,and 20 centimeters long was melted,how much would it raise the water level in a tank that is 100 centimeters long by 40 centimeters wide?

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The volume of the ice block is 10 cm x 10 cm x 20 cm = 2000 cm^3. When it is melted, it will become water and take up the same volume, which is 2000 cm^3.

The tank has a volume of 100 cm x 40 cm x h cm, where h is the height the water level will rise. So we can set up the equation:

100 cm x 40 cm x h cm = 2000 cm^3

Simplifying, we get:

h = 0.5 cm

So the water level will rise by 0.5 cm, which is between 0.1 to 1 cm. Therefore, the answer is B.
