Level 3 PSLE
A and B are two rectangular containers. The base area of A is 30 cm2 and the base of B has dimensions as shown. A contained 750 cm3 of water and B was empty.
  1. What was the height of the water level in A?
  2. Ben poured some water from A into B without spilling. After that, the height of the water level of A was the same as that of B. How much water did Ben pour into B?

Level 3
Tank A measuring 40 cm by 17 cm by 146 cm is filled with water. Tank B is with a square base of side 68 cm is empty. Water is poured from Tank A into Tank B until the water level in Tank B is twice the height of the water in Tank A. What is the height of the water level in Tank B?

Level 3
The figure is not drawn to scale. Tank A and Tank B have base areas of 1500 cm2 and 1000 cm2 respectively. Water was poured into an empty rectangular Tank A until it reached a height of 20 cm. Some of the water was then poured from Tank A into Tank B which contained 1.5 ℓ of water until the height of the water in both tanks were the same.
  1. Find the new height of the water in Tank A.
  2. How many litres of water were poured into Tank B?

Level 3
An empty tank measures 50 cm by 20 cm by 35 cm. 3 wooden cubes each of edge 10 cm, are placed in the tank. The tank is then filled with water flowing from a tap at a rate of 8 ℓ per minute.
  1. How long will it take to fill up the tank? Express your answer in min.
  2. What will be the depth of the water in the tank after 2 wooden cubes are removed?

Level 3
Alan has 24 cubes of edge 3 cm. He uses all the cubes to make a cuboid that has a square base as shown.
  1. What is the height of the cuboid?
  2. If he wants to build a big cube of side 12 cm, how many more 3-cm cubes will he need?

Level 3
This figure is not drawn to scale. A rectangular glass tank 72 cm by 50 cm by 35 cm has 2 compartments, X and Y, with a water height of 30 cm in X and 15 cm in Y. A hole in the slider caused water to leak from X to Y. It was found that the water level in both compartments became the same after some time.
  1. What is the height of water in the tank now?
  2. It took 112 h for the water in both compartments to reach the same level. Assuming that water leaked at a constant rate, how much water flowed from X to Y in 1 minute? Express the answer to 1 decimal place in cm³.

Level 3
Tank A measuring 50 cm by 46 cm by 15 cm contained 34 ℓ of water. Tank B measuring 40 cm by 30 cm by 35 cm contained 18 ℓ of water. Alan poured some water from Tank A into Tank B without spilling and the water level of Tank B rose to 28 cm. What was the height of water level left in Tank A?

Level 3
Figure A shows a rectangular container. It is 35 filled with water. The length of the container is 18 cm and its breadth is 3 cm.
  1. Find the capacity of the container in litres.
  2. All the water in the rectangular container is poured into another tank as shown in Figure B. Find the height that represents the water level of the amount of water in it.

Level 3
The figure, not drawn to scale, shows an empty water container made out of 2 different solid shapes. The total height of the figure is 24 cm. The bottom part of the figure is formed by a 12-cm cube. The top part of the figure is formed by a cuboid with the corners of its square base touching the midpoints of the edges of the cube. The figure on the right shows the view of the solid from the top. 2 litres of water is poured into the empty water container. Find the height of the water level from the base of the water container.

Level 3
A rectangular container 40 cm long, 30 cm wide and 25 cm high is 45 filled with water. When some of the water is poured into an empty rectangular glass tank until it is completely full, 4 ℓ of water is left in the container.
  1. How many litres of water was there in the container at first?
  2. What is the height of the glass tank if it is 50 cm long and 25 cm wide?
