Tank Z was
14 filled with water. After 15000 cm
3 of water was added to Tank Z, it became
78 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 15000 cm
3 of water was added into Tank Z
=
78 -
14 =
78 -
28 =
58 58 of the tank = 15000
18 of the tank = 15000 ÷ 5 = 3000
88 of the tank = 8 x 3000 = 24000
24000 mℓ = 24 ℓ
Capacity of the tank = 24 ℓ
(b)
Volume of water in Tank Z in the end
=
78 x 24
= 21 ℓ
Answer(s): (a) 24 ℓ ; (b) 21 ℓ
