Tank B was
17 filled with water. After 15000 cm
3 of water was added to Tank B, it became
514 full.
- Find the volume of Tank B in litres.
- Find the volume of water in Tank B in the end. Give your answer in litres.
(a)
Fraction of the tank when 15000 cm
3 of water was added into Tank B
=
514 -
17 =
514 -
214 =
314 314 of the tank = 15000
114 of the tank = 15000 ÷ 3 = 5000
1414 of the tank = 14 x 5000 = 70000
70000 mℓ = 70 ℓ
Capacity of the tank = 70 ℓ
(b)
Volume of water in Tank B in the end
=
514 x 70
= 25 ℓ
Answer(s): (a) 70 ℓ ; (b) 25 ℓ
