Tank A was
14 filled with water. After 12000 cm
3 of water was added to Tank A, it became
58 full.
- Find the volume of Tank A in litres.
- Find the volume of water in Tank A in the end. Give your answer in litres.
(a)
Fraction of the tank when 12000 cm
3 of water was added into Tank A
=
58 -
14 =
58 -
28 =
38 38 of the tank = 12000
18 of the tank = 12000 ÷ 3 = 4000
88 of the tank = 8 x 4000 = 32000
32000 mℓ = 32 ℓ
Capacity of the tank = 32 ℓ
(b)
Volume of water in Tank A in the end
=
58 x 32
= 20 ℓ
Answer(s): (a) 32 ℓ ; (b) 20 ℓ
