A cylindrical tank whose diameter is 1.4 metres and height 80 cm is initially empty. Water whose volume is 492.8 litres is poured into the tank. Determine the fraction of the tank filled with water. (4 mark

The fraction filled with water is 7/40

Step-by-step explanation:

Okay.

Here we start by calculating the volume of the cylindrical tank.

Mathematically, that would be;

V = π * r^2 * h

From the question

r = 80 cm = 80/100 = 0.8 meters

h = 1.4 meters

π = 22/7

Plugging these values into the volume equation, we have;

V = 22/7 * 0.8 * 0.8 * 1.4 = 2.816 m^3

But mathematically;

1 m^3 = 1000 liters

So 2.816 m^3 = 2.816 * 1000 = 2816 liters

So the fraction filled with water will be;

492.8/2816 = 0.175 = 175/1000 = 7/40
