Tank P was
17 filled with water. After 12000 cm
3 of water was added to Tank P, it became
514 full.
- Find the volume of Tank P in litres.
- Find the volume of water in Tank P in the end. Give your answer in litres.
(a)
Fraction of the tank when 12000 cm
3 of water was added into Tank P
=
514 -
17 =
514 -
214 =
314 314 of the tank = 12000
114 of the tank = 12000 ÷ 3 = 4000
1414 of the tank = 14 x 4000 = 56000
56000 mℓ = 56 ℓ
Capacity of the tank = 56 ℓ
(b)
Volume of water in Tank P in the end
=
514 x 56
= 20 ℓ
Answer(s): (a) 56 ℓ ; (b) 20 ℓ
