Tank A was
18 filled with water. After 15000 cm
3 of water was added to Tank A, it became
716 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 15000 cm
3 of water was added into Tank A
=
716 -
18 =
716 -
216 =
516 516 of the tank = 15000
116 of the tank = 15000 ÷ 5 = 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 A in the end
=
716 x 48
= 21 ℓ
Answer(s): (a) 48 ℓ ; (b) 21 ℓ
