A tank with a square base of 50 cm was
14 filled with water After another 94500 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 94500 cm
3 of water was poured into the tank
=
56 -
14=
1012 -
312=
712712 of the tank = 94500
112 of the tank = 94500 ÷ 7 = 13500
1212 of the tank = 12 x 13500 = 162000
162000 mℓ = 162 ℓ
Capacity of the tank = 162 ℓ
(b)
1012 of the tank = 10 x 13500 = 135000
Final height of the water in the tank
=
13500050 x 50 = 54 cm
Answer(s): (a) 162 ℓ; (b) 54 cm
