Tank J was
18 filled with water. After 10000 cm
3 of water was added to Tank J, it became
716 full.
- Find the volume of Tank J in litres.
- Find the volume of water in Tank J in the end. Give your answer in litres.
(a)
Fraction of the tank when 10000 cm
3 of water was added into Tank J
=
716 -
18 =
716 -
216 =
516 516 of the tank = 10000
116 of the tank = 10000 ÷ 5 = 2000
1616 of the tank = 16 x 2000 = 32000
32000 mℓ = 32 ℓ
Capacity of the tank = 32 ℓ
(b)
Volume of water in Tank J in the end
=
716 x 32
= 14 ℓ
Answer(s): (a) 32 ℓ ; (b) 14 ℓ
