1. **State the problem:** A rectangular tank is 10 m long and 5 m wide. It is initially 45% filled with juice. After adding 75 m^3 of water, the tank becomes 3/5 (or 60%) full. We need to find the height $h$ of the tank.
2. **Define variables and known values:**
- Length $L = 10$ m
- Width $W = 5$ m
- Height $h$ (unknown)
- Initial volume of juice $= 45\%$ of total volume $= 0.45 \times L \times W \times h$
- Volume after adding water $= 60\%$ of total volume $= 0.60 \times L \times W \times h$
- Volume of water added $= 75$ m$^3$
3. **Set up the equation:**
The volume after adding water equals the initial volume plus 75 m$^3$:
$$
0.60 \times L \times W \times h = 0.45 \times L \times W \times h + 75
$$
4. **Simplify the equation:**
$$
0.60 \times 10 \times 5 \times h = 0.45 \times 10 \times 5 \times h + 75
$$
$$
0.60 \times 50 \times h = 0.45 \times 50 \times h + 75
$$
$$
30h = 22.5h + 75
$$
5. **Solve for $h$:**
$$
30h - 22.5h = 75
$$
$$
7.5h = 75
$$
$$
h = \frac{75}{7.5} = 10
$$
6. **Interpretation:** The height of the tank is 10 meters.
**Final answer:**
$$h = 10 \text{ meters}$$
