Tank F was
16 filled with water. After 15000 cm
3 of water was added to Tank F, it became
712 full.
- Find the volume of Tank F in litres.
- Find the volume of water in Tank F in the end. Give your answer in litres.
(a)
Fraction of the tank when 15000 cm
3 of water was added into Tank F
=
712 -
16 =
712 -
212 =
512 512 of the tank = 15000
112 of the tank = 15000 ÷ 5 = 3000
1212 of the tank = 12 x 3000 = 36000
36000 mℓ = 36 ℓ
Capacity of the tank = 36 ℓ
(b)
Volume of water in Tank F in the end
=
712 x 36
= 21 ℓ
Answer(s): (a) 36 ℓ ; (b) 21 ℓ
