Water in a canal, 30 dm wide and 12 dm deep, is flowing with velocity of 100 km per hour. How much area will it irrigate in 30 minutes, if 8 cm of standing water is required?

30*12=360==> area
ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):
careful about the units,
may be convert everything into cm

it is 30 minutes
OpenStudy (anonymous):
300*120/8=4500
ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):
In 30 minutes :
\[\large 6\times 10^9 cm^3/min \times 30 min = 180\times 10^9 cm^3 \]
water flows from the canal into the irrigation land

how 100*1000*100cm?.100km=10000m
OpenStudy (anonymous):
10000m=1000000cm=10 00 00 00

100km
100 * 1000m
100 * 1000*100cm

i have changed everything into `cm`
OpenStudy (anonymous):
yes
OpenStudy (anonymous):
u r right:)
ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):
we're not done with the problem yet
we got volume of water that went through the canal in 30 minutes, but we don't know how much land it will irrigate right ?

how much land can you irrigate with \(\large 180 \times 10^9 cm^3\) of water ?
ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):
an ideas ?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
180*10^9cm^3/8
ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):
again, pay attention to the units
ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):
180*10^9cm^3/8cm
okay ?

units >.<
ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):
when u divide cm^3 by cm, what do u get ?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
cm^2
ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):
so its
22.5*10^9*cm^2
lets convert it to km^2

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):
or maybe m^2
OpenStudy (anonymous):
225000
OpenStudy (anonymous):
225000m^2
ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):
100cm = 1m
(100cm)^2 = 1m^2
10^4cm^2 = 1m^2
