A tank with a square base of 30 cm was
13 filled with water After another 27500 cm
3 of water was poured into the tank, it became
34 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 27500 cm
3 of water was poured into the tank
=
34 -
13=
912 -
412=
512512 of the tank = 27500
112 of the tank = 27500 ÷ 5 = 5500
1212 of the tank = 12 x 5500 = 66000
66000 mℓ = 66 ℓ
Capacity of the tank = 66 ℓ
(b)
912 of the tank = 9 x 5500 = 49500
Final height of the water in the tank
=
4950030 x 30 = 55 cm
Answer(s): (a) 66 ℓ; (b) 55 cm
