\n" ); document.write( "a container with base 60cm by 40cm and a height of 25cm was 4/5 filled with water. Some of the water was removed causing the water level to fall by 5cm. The remaining water was then poured into a tank and a basin, filling them to the brims. Tne capacity of the basin was 1/3 of the tank. If the tank was 18cm long 15cm wide what was the height of the water in the tank.\r

\n" ); document.write( "(1) Volume of original container: \"60%2A40%2A25+=+60000\"
\n" ); document.write( "(2) Volume of water in original container: \"%284%2F5%29%2A60000+=+48000\"
\n" ); document.write( "(3) Volume of water removed from original container: \"60%2A40%2A5+=+12000\"
\n" ); document.write( "(4) Volume of water remaining in original container: \"48000-12000+=+36000\"
\n" ); document.write( "The volume of the tank is 3 times the volume of the basin; so 3/4 of the water goes into the tank and 1/4 into the basin.
\n" ); document.write( "(5) Volume of water poured into the tank: \"%283%2F4%29%2A36000+=+27000\"
\n" ); document.write( "Let x be the height of the tank. The volume of the tank has to be 27000:
\n" ); document.write( "\"18%2A15%2Ax+=+27000\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"270x+=+27000\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"x+=+100\"

\n" ); document.write( "The height of the water in the tank is the height of the tank, because the tank is full.

\n" ); document.write( "The height of the water in the tank is 100 cm.
