Question
A rectangular tank 15 cm long by 10 cm wide is ⅖ filled with water. The volume of water in the tank is 6 litres. How much more water is needed to fill the tank to the brim?Amount of water needed to fill the tank to the brim: ____ cm³
Solution
To solve this problem, we first need to find the total volume of the tank.
We know that the tank is ⅖ filled with water and the volume of this water is 6 litres. Therefore, the total volume of the tank would be (5/2) * 6 litres = 15 litres.
We also know that 1 litre = 1000 cm³. So, the total volume of the tank in cm³ is 15 litres * 1000 cm³/litre = 15000 cm³.
The volume of the water already in the tank is 6 litres * 1000 cm³/litre = 6000 cm³.
Therefore, the amount of water needed to fill the tank to the brim is the total volume of the tank minus the volume of the water already in the tank.
So, the amount of water needed is 15000 cm³ - 6000 cm³ = 9000 cm³.
