Tank A was
17 filled with water. After 18000 cm
3 of water was added to Tank A, it became
514 full.
- Find the volume of Tank A in litres.
- Find the volume of water in Tank A in the end. Give your answer in litres.
(a)
Fraction of the tank when 18000 cm
3 of water was added into Tank A
=
514 -
17 =
514 -
214 =
314 314 of the tank = 18000
114 of the tank = 18000 ÷ 3 = 6000
1414 of the tank = 14 x 6000 = 84000
84000 mℓ = 84 ℓ
Capacity of the tank = 84 ℓ
(b)
Volume of water in Tank A in the end
=
514 x 84
= 30 ℓ
Answer(s): (a) 84 ℓ ; (b) 30 ℓ
