Tank X was
18 filled with water. After 6000 cm
3 of water was added to Tank X, it became
516 full.
- Find the volume of Tank X in litres.
- Find the volume of water in Tank X in the end. Give your answer in litres.
(a)
Fraction of the tank when 6000 cm
3 of water was added into Tank X
=
516 -
18 =
516 -
216 =
316 316 of the tank = 6000
116 of the tank = 6000 ÷ 3 = 2000
1616 of the tank = 16 x 2000 = 32000
32000 mℓ = 32 ℓ
Capacity of the tank = 32 ℓ
(b)
Volume of water in Tank X in the end
=
516 x 32
= 10 ℓ
Answer(s): (a) 32 ℓ ; (b) 10 ℓ
