Question 1176 Deck General
70% to passA tank holds 400 tons of sea water when filled. How many tons of liquid of specific gravity 0.9300 will it hold when filled to 90% capacity?
A
326.6
B
343.2
C
377.6
D
390.2
AI Explanation
The correct answer is A) 326.6 tons. To explain: 1) The tank holds 400 tons of sea water when filled. Since the specific gravity of the liquid is 0.9300, the tank will hold 400 * 0.9300 = 372 tons of the liquid when filled to 100% capacity. 2) The question states the tank is filled to 90% capacity, so the amount of liquid held is 372 * 0.9 = 326.6 tons. 3) The other answer choices are incorrect because they do not correctly calculate the amount of liquid held at 90% capacity based on the given tank size and specific gravity. 4) The explanation uses basic math principles to determine the correct answer.
