A tank with a square base of 10 cm was
14 filled with water After another 1190 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 1190 cm
3 of water was poured into the tank
=
56 -
14=
1012 -
312=
712712 of the tank = 1190
112 of the tank = 1190 ÷ 7 = 170
1212 of the tank = 12 x 170 = 2040
2040 mℓ = 2.04 ℓ
Capacity of the tank = 2.04 ℓ
(b)
1012 of the tank = 10 x 170 = 1700
Final height of the water in the tank
=
170010 x 10 = 17 cm
Answer(s): (a) 2.04 ℓ; (b) 17 cm
