A tank with a square base of 10 cm was
38 filled with water After another 2695 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 2695 cm
3 of water was poured into the tank
=
56 -
38=
2024 -
924=
11241124 of the tank = 2695
124 of the tank = 2695 ÷ 11 = 245
2424 of the tank = 24 x 245 = 5880
5880 mℓ = 5.88 ℓ
Capacity of the tank = 5.88 ℓ
(b)
2024 of the tank = 20 x 245 = 4900
Final height of the water in the tank
=
490010 x 10 = 49 cm
Answer(s): (a) 5.88 ℓ; (b) 49 cm
