Tank D was
14 filled with water. After 18000 cm
3 of water was added to Tank D, it became
58 full.
- Find the volume of Tank D in litres.
- Find the volume of water in Tank D in the end. Give your answer in litres.
(a)
Fraction of the tank when 18000 cm
3 of water was added into Tank D
=
58 -
14 =
58 -
28 =
38 38 of the tank = 18000
18 of the tank = 18000 ÷ 3 = 6000
88 of the tank = 8 x 6000 = 48000
48000 mℓ = 48 ℓ
Capacity of the tank = 48 ℓ
(b)
Volume of water in Tank D in the end
=
58 x 48
= 30 ℓ
Answer(s): (a) 48 ℓ ; (b) 30 ℓ
