Tank E was
18 filled with water. After 9000 cm
3 of water was added to Tank E, it became
516 full.
- Find the volume of Tank E in litres.
- Find the volume of water in Tank E in the end. Give your answer in litres.
(a)
Fraction of the tank when 9000 cm
3 of water was added into Tank E
=
516 -
18 =
516 -
216 =
316 316 of the tank = 9000
116 of the tank = 9000 ÷ 3 = 3000
1616 of the tank = 16 x 3000 = 48000
48000 mℓ = 48 ℓ
Capacity of the tank = 48 ℓ
(b)
Volume of water in Tank E in the end
=
516 x 48
= 15 ℓ
Answer(s): (a) 48 ℓ ; (b) 15 ℓ
