Tank T was
17 filled with water. After 9000 cm
3 of water was added to Tank T, it became
514 full.
- Find the volume of Tank T in litres.
- Find the volume of water in Tank T in the end. Give your answer in litres.
(a)
Fraction of the tank when 9000 cm
3 of water was added into Tank T
=
514 -
17 =
514 -
214 =
314 314 of the tank = 9000
114 of the tank = 9000 ÷ 3 = 3000
1414 of the tank = 14 x 3000 = 42000
42000 mℓ = 42 ℓ
Capacity of the tank = 42 ℓ
(b)
Volume of water in Tank T in the end
=
514 x 42
= 15 ℓ
Answer(s): (a) 42 ℓ ; (b) 15 ℓ
