Help me with this Maths question

the diagram shows a partly filled oil tank
width=2
length=5
height =3
the depth of oil in the tank is 1.2m
1 cubic metre is equivalent to 1000 litres
work out the quantity of oil in the tank
give your answer in litres

2 * 5 * 1.2 = volume of oil
Volume of oil converted to litres = answer

2 * 5 * 1.2 = 12 cubic metres of oil
12 * 1000 = 1200 litres

Thanks for that. What about this one? I've never covered this, I'm in Y7 and missed the last 2 days of schools because I was poorly.

Water used by shower:
Calculate the water used by multiplying the amount of water used per minute by the amount of time

Water used by bath:
Calculate the volume of the bath and convert to litres (by dividing by 1000)

Water saved:
Water used by bath - water used by shower
