Tank Q was
14 filled with water. After 10000 cm
3 of water was added to Tank Q, it became
78 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 10000 cm
3 of water was added into Tank Q
=
78 -
14 =
78 -
28 =
58 58 of the tank = 10000
18 of the tank = 10000 ÷ 5 = 2000
88 of the tank = 8 x 2000 = 16000
16000 mℓ = 16 ℓ
Capacity of the tank = 16 ℓ
(b)
Volume of water in Tank Q in the end
=
78 x 16
= 14 ℓ
Answer(s): (a) 16 ℓ ; (b) 14 ℓ
