Explanation / Answer

        Mass, M = 30 ton                       = 30000 kg         Density of water,w = 1000 kg/m^3         Density of gasoline,g = 719.7 kg/m^3         Volume = Mass /Density         (a)          Volume of water, V= M / w                                        = 30000 / 1000                                        = 30 m^3          (b)            Volumeof gasoline, V = M / g                                             = 30000 / 719.7                                             = 41.68 m^3
