Shemy placed three empty tanks side by side. The smallest tank has a crack at its side and the base area of each tank is 16 cm2. After she turned on the tap for 64 minutes, the height of the water in the smallest tank became 6 cm although 0.5 mℓ of water is leaking out of the crack per minute. Find the rate of flow of water from the tap. Give the answer in mℓ/min.

The figure shows an empty transparent tank made from three containers. The two containers A and B on top are in the form of cuboids which have square bases of side 6 cm and 4 cm as shown in the figure. The bottom container is in the form of a cube of side 14 cm. 3.42ℓ of water are poured into the empty vase. Find the height of the water level from the base of the vase. (1 litre = 1000 cm3)

Tank A, measuring 40 cm by 30 cm by 50 cm, was filled with water to the brim. Water was then poured from Tank A to Tank B, which has a base area of 900 cm2 until the height of the water level in Tank B became twice that of the water level in Tank A. Find the volume of water in Tank B, leaving the answer in litres.

An empty rectangular tank has a capacity of 90ℓ and a height of 50 cm. At 10 am, Tap A is turned on to fill the tank at a rate of 4ℓ per minute for 15 minutes. After 5 minutes, Tap B is turned on to drain water from the tank at a rate of 2ℓ per minute for 18 minutes. What is the height of the water level in the tank in the end? Express the answer in 1 decimal place.

The diagrams are not drawn to scale. Diagram 1 shows a rectangular tank containing 6 identical cubes and filled to the brim. It had a length of 40 cm and a breadth of 10 cm. In Diagram 2, four cubes were removed from the same tank and the water level dropped by 2.16 cm. After that, a certain amount of water was drained off the tank until the water level reaches the same height as the remaining cubes. Find the volume of the water in the tank in Diagram 2 in the end. Give the answer in litres.
