Answer 1

The volume of the coffee in each tank will be 1760. in³. The mass of cold coffee and hot coffee will be 6163.29 oz and 10213.45 oz. Then the number of the tank placed on a table is one only.

How to find the density and volume?

She is serving hot coffee and cold coffee in two rectangular-shaped tanks, each with dimensions width of 8.75 inches, a length of 8.75 inches, and a height of 23 inches.

The hot coffee has a density of 5.8 oz/in³ and the cold coffee has a density of 3.5 oz/ in³.

Then the volume of the coffee in each tank will be

We know that the dimension of both tanks is equal. Then the volume will remains equal.

Volume = L × B × H

Volume = 8.75 × 8.75 × 23

Volume = 1760.9375 ≅ 1760.94 in³

Then  the mass of the coffee in each the tank will be

The mass of hot coffee will be

Mass = Density × Volume

Mass = 5.8 × 1760.94

Mass = 10213.45 oz

The mass of cold coffee will be

Mass = Density × Volume

Mass = 3.5 × 1760.94

Mass = 6163.29 oz

Then the number of the tank placed on a table is one only.
