Tank P was
18 filled with water. After 18000 cm
3 of water was added to Tank P, it became
516 full.
- Find the volume of Tank P in litres.
- Find the volume of water in Tank P in the end. Give your answer in litres.
(a)
Fraction of the tank when 18000 cm
3 of water was added into Tank P
=
516 -
18 =
516 -
216 =
316 316 of the tank = 18000
116 of the tank = 18000 ÷ 3 = 6000
1616 of the tank = 16 x 6000 = 96000
96000 mℓ = 96 ℓ
Capacity of the tank = 96 ℓ
(b)
Volume of water in Tank P in the end
=
516 x 96
= 30 ℓ
Answer(s): (a) 96 ℓ ; (b) 30 ℓ
