Tank Q was
14 filled with water. After 6000 cm
3 of water was added to Tank Q, it became
58 full.
- Find the volume of Tank Q in litres.
- Find the volume of water in Tank Q in the end. Give your answer in litres.
(a)
Fraction of the tank when 6000 cm
3 of water was added into Tank Q
=
58 -
14 =
58 -
28 =
38 38 of the tank = 6000
18 of the tank = 6000 ÷ 3 = 2000
88 of the tank = 8 x 2000 = 16000
16000 mℓ = 16 ℓ
Capacity of the tank = 16 ℓ
(b)
Volume of water in Tank Q in the end
=
58 x 16
= 10 ℓ
Answer(s): (a) 16 ℓ ; (b) 10 ℓ
