Tank P was
14 filled with water. After 15000 cm
3 of water was added to Tank P, it became
58 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 15000 cm
3 of water was added into Tank P
=
58 -
14 =
58 -
28 =
38 38 of the tank = 15000
18 of the tank = 15000 ÷ 3 = 5000
88 of the tank = 8 x 5000 = 40000
40000 mℓ = 40 ℓ
Capacity of the tank = 40 ℓ
(b)
Volume of water in Tank P in the end
=
58 x 40
= 25 ℓ
Answer(s): (a) 40 ℓ ; (b) 25 ℓ
