A cubical tank is filled with water to a level of 2 feet. If the water in the tank occupies 32 cubic feet, to what fraction of its capacity is the tank filled with water?  Pick one:
A) 1/2  B) 1/3  C) 2/3  D) 1/4  E) 3/4
The volume of water in the tank is H*L*B = 32 cubic feet.   Since H = 2, then L*B = 16 and L = B = 4.   Since the tank is cubical, the capacity of the tank is   4*4*4=
