Tank J was
14 filled with water. After 9000 cm
3 of water was added to Tank J, it became
58 full.
- Find the volume of Tank J in litres.
- Find the volume of water in Tank J in the end. Give your answer in litres.
(a)
Fraction of the tank when 9000 cm
3 of water was added into Tank J
=
58 -
14 =
58 -
28 =
38 38 of the tank = 9000
18 of the tank = 9000 ÷ 3 = 3000
88 of the tank = 8 x 3000 = 24000
24000 mℓ = 24 ℓ
Capacity of the tank = 24 ℓ
(b)
Volume of water in Tank J in the end
=
58 x 24
= 15 ℓ
Answer(s): (a) 24 ℓ ; (b) 15 ℓ
