Tank U was
16 filled with water. After 10000 cm
3 of water was added to Tank U, it became
712 full.
- Find the volume of Tank U in litres.
- Find the volume of water in Tank U in the end. Give your answer in litres.
(a)
Fraction of the tank when 10000 cm
3 of water was added into Tank U
=
712 -
16 =
712 -
212 =
512 512 of the tank = 10000
112 of the tank = 10000 ÷ 5 = 2000
1212 of the tank = 12 x 2000 = 24000
24000 mℓ = 24 ℓ
Capacity of the tank = 24 ℓ
(b)
Volume of water in Tank U in the end
=
712 x 24
= 14 ℓ
Answer(s): (a) 24 ℓ ; (b) 14 ℓ
