A tank with a square base of 10 cm was
38 filled with water After another 2915 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 2915 cm
3 of water was poured into the tank
=
56 -
38=
2024 -
924=
11241124 of the tank = 2915
124 of the tank = 2915 ÷ 11 = 265
2424 of the tank = 24 x 265 = 6360
6360 mℓ = 6.36 ℓ
Capacity of the tank = 6.36 ℓ
(b)
2024 of the tank = 20 x 265 = 5300
Final height of the water in the tank
=
530010 x 10 = 53 cm
Answer(s): (a) 6.36 ℓ; (b) 53 cm
