A tank with a square base of 50 cm was
38 filled with water After another 108625 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 108625 cm
3 of water was poured into the tank
=
56 -
38=
2024 -
924=
11241124 of the tank = 108625
124 of the tank = 108625 ÷ 11 = 9875
2424 of the tank = 24 x 9875 = 237000
237000 mℓ = 237 ℓ
Capacity of the tank = 237 ℓ
(b)
2024 of the tank = 20 x 9875 = 197500
Final height of the water in the tank
=
19750050 x 50 = 79 cm
Answer(s): (a) 237 ℓ; (b) 79 cm
