Tank B was
18 filled with water. After 15000 cm
3 of water was added to Tank B, it became
516 full.
- Find the volume of Tank B in litres.
- Find the volume of water in Tank B in the end. Give your answer in litres.
(a)
Fraction of the tank when 15000 cm
3 of water was added into Tank B
=
516 -
18 =
516 -
216 =
316 316 of the tank = 15000
116 of the tank = 15000 ÷ 3 = 5000
1616 of the tank = 16 x 5000 = 80000
80000 mℓ = 80 ℓ
Capacity of the tank = 80 ℓ
(b)
Volume of water in Tank B in the end
=
516 x 80
= 25 ℓ
Answer(s): (a) 80 ℓ ; (b) 25 ℓ
