Arectangle container that has a length of 25cm, a width of 37cm, and a height of 21cm a is filled with water to a depth of 18 cm. when an additional 7 liters of water are poured into the container, some water overflows. how many liters water overflows the container? use words, pictures, and numbers to explain your answer.(remember: _1cm3=1 ml.)

4.225 L

Step-by-step explanation:

The box has a height of 21 cm.  After the box is filled to 18 cm, there's 3 cm left of space.  The volume of this space is:

V = lwh

V = (25 cm) (37 cm) (3 cm)

V = 2775 cm³

1 cm³ is the same as 1 mL, so the volume of the space is 2775 mL.

1 L is 1000 mL, so this volume is 2.775 L.

7 L of water is then poured in.  The box can hold 2.775 L.  The rest overflows.  The overflow volume is:

7 L - 2.775 L = 4.225 L

9 x 8 divided by (5-3)=36
