A tank with a square base of 50 cm was
38 filled with water After another 100375 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 100375 cm
3 of water was poured into the tank
=
56 -
38=
2024 -
924=
11241124 of the tank = 100375
124 of the tank = 100375 ÷ 11 = 9125
2424 of the tank = 24 x 9125 = 219000
219000 mℓ = 219 ℓ
Capacity of the tank = 219 ℓ
(b)
2024 of the tank = 20 x 9125 = 182500
Final height of the water in the tank
=
18250050 x 50 = 73 cm
Answer(s): (a) 219 ℓ; (b) 73 cm
