Abdul wants to give a depth of 8 cm of water over a rectangular garden of size 4 m by 3 m. How many litres of water are required?

Step-by-step solution

1. Calculate the area of the garden: $4,m\times 3,m=12,m^2$.
2. Convert the depth to metres: $8,cm=0.08,m$.
3. Compute the volume of water: $12,m^2\times 0.08,m=0.96,m^3$.
4. Convert cubic metres to litres: $0.96,m^3\times 1000=960,litres$.
