Tank N was
18 filled with water. After 20000 cm
3 of water was added to Tank N, it became
716 full.
- Find the volume of Tank N in litres.
- Find the volume of water in Tank N in the end. Give your answer in litres.
(a)
Fraction of the tank when 20000 cm
3 of water was added into Tank N
=
716 -
18 =
716 -
216 =
516 516 of the tank = 20000
116 of the tank = 20000 ÷ 5 = 4000
1616 of the tank = 16 x 4000 = 64000
64000 mℓ = 64 ℓ
Capacity of the tank = 64 ℓ
(b)
Volume of water in Tank N in the end
=
716 x 64
= 28 ℓ
Answer(s): (a) 64 ℓ ; (b) 28 ℓ
