Tank Q was
18 filled with water. After 12000 cm
3 of water was added to Tank Q, it became
516 full.
- Find the volume of Tank Q in litres.
- Find the volume of water in Tank Q in the end. Give your answer in litres.
(a)
Fraction of the tank when 12000 cm
3 of water was added into Tank Q
=
516 -
18 =
516 -
216 =
316 316 of the tank = 12000
116 of the tank = 12000 ÷ 3 = 4000
1616 of the tank = 16 x 4000 = 64000
64000 mℓ = 64 ℓ
Capacity of the tank = 64 ℓ
(b)
Volume of water in Tank Q in the end
=
516 x 64
= 20 ℓ
Answer(s): (a) 64 ℓ ; (b) 20 ℓ
