A tank with a square base of 40 cm was
13 filled with water After another 44800 cm
3 of water was poured into the tank, it became
35 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 44800 cm
3 of water was poured into the tank
=
35 -
13=
915 -
515=
415415 of the tank = 44800
115 of the tank = 44800 ÷ 4 = 11200
1515 of the tank = 15 x 11200 = 168000
168000 mℓ = 168 ℓ
Capacity of the tank = 168 ℓ
(b)
915 of the tank = 9 x 11200 = 100800
Final height of the water in the tank
=
10080040 x 40 = 63 cm
Answer(s): (a) 168 ℓ; (b) 63 cm
