Tank Z was
17 filled with water. After 6000 cm
3 of water was added to Tank Z, it became
514 full.
- Find the volume of Tank Z in litres.
- Find the volume of water in Tank Z in the end. Give your answer in litres.
(a)
Fraction of the tank when 6000 cm
3 of water was added into Tank Z
=
514 -
17 =
514 -
214 =
314 314 of the tank = 6000
114 of the tank = 6000 ÷ 3 = 2000
1414 of the tank = 14 x 2000 = 28000
28000 mℓ = 28 ℓ
Capacity of the tank = 28 ℓ
(b)
Volume of water in Tank Z in the end
=
514 x 28
= 10 ℓ
Answer(s): (a) 28 ℓ ; (b) 10 ℓ
