Anyone good at maths?

How many litres of water would my fish tank hold

L.120cm x H.60cm W. x55

I would be interested to know the answer and how you came to it?

Thanks so much!

Need to know the 3rd dimension

0 litres, as it's apparently 2 dimensional.

7.2l per cm you fill it. 396l if you fill it to the brim.

As for how I got there... this is gcse maths at best. There's 1,000 cubic centimetres in a litre. 60*55*120 = 396,000 cc which is 396l.

Edited for mental arithmetic decimal place fail.

Are they internal or external dimensions? You're looking at about 390l.

I think volumes of simple shapes is taught before secondary school!

You're probably right, but it's a long time since I was at primary school. I'll ask my daughters tonight...

In which case you need to adjust the calculation for the width of the glass, but about 385 litres would be in the ballpark, allowing for a small gap at the top to prevent spillage.
