A tank with a square base of 10 cm was
38 filled with water After another 2420 cm
3 of water was poured into the tank, it became
56 full.
- Find the capacity of the tank in litres.
- Find the final height of the water in the tank.
(a)
Fraction of the tank when 2420 cm
3 of water was poured into the tank
=
56 -
38=
2024 -
924=
11241124 of the tank = 2420
124 of the tank = 2420 ÷ 11 = 220
2424 of the tank = 24 x 220 = 5280
5280 mℓ = 5.28 ℓ
Capacity of the tank = 5.28 ℓ
(b)
2024 of the tank = 20 x 220 = 4400
Final height of the water in the tank
=
440010 x 10 = 44 cm
Answer(s): (a) 5.28 ℓ; (b) 44 cm
