Need to convert liquid to metric
Forum rules
Dear convert-me.com forum visitors,
Our forum has been available for many years. In September 2014 we decided to switch it to read-only mode. Month after month we saw less posts with questions and answers from real people and more spam posts. We were spending more and more resources cleaning the spam until there were less them 1 legitimate message per 100 spam posts. Then we decided it's time to stop.
All the posts in the forum will be available and searchable. We understand there are a lot of useful information and we aren't going to remove anything. As for the new questions, you can always ask them on convert-me.com FaceBook page
Thank you for being with us and sorry for any inconveniences this could caused.

Ice sphere, 2 meters in diameter, melting at 1.5mm of depth per minute ... how long will it take to fill up a hexagonal bath measuring 1.5 meters on a side and 0.8 meters deep? Really need this answer badly! Post immediately or email to CarolH@gva-twn.com. Thanks, I really appreciate it!

It's a trick question.
Calculate the volume of the tub.
Now calculate the volume of the ice ball. Remember the ice floats and has a lower density than water. The ice when melted, will have a slightly smaller volume than as an ice ball.
If you had to calculate to the end, you'd calculate the "lost volume" of ice as it melted, convert it to water volume, and determine depth in the tub.
That's enough hints. "Nothing to it but to do it" (I used to have a teacher that said that)
