A tank with a square base of 10 cm was
14 filled with water After another 1330 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 1330 cm
3 of water was poured into the tank
=
56 -
14=
1012 -
312=
712712 of the tank = 1330
112 of the tank = 1330 ÷ 7 = 190
1212 of the tank = 12 x 190 = 2280
2280 mℓ = 2.28 ℓ
Capacity of the tank = 2.28 ℓ
(b)
1012 of the tank = 10 x 190 = 1900
Final height of the water in the tank
=
190010 x 10 = 19 cm
Answer(s): (a) 2.28 ℓ; (b) 19 cm
