问题 The interior dimensions of a rectangular tank are as follows: length 110 centimeters, width 90 centimeters, and height 270 centimeters. The tank rests on level ground. Based on the assumption that the volume of water increases by 10 percent when it freezes, which of the following is closest to the maximum height, in centimeters, to which the tank can be filled with water so that when the water freezes, the ice would not rise above the top of the tank?
选项 A、230
B、235
C、240
D、245
E、250
答案D
解析 Let x be the maximum height, in centimeters, to which the tank can be filled with water, so that when the water freezes, the ice will not rise above the top of the tank. Based on the assumption that the volume of water increases by 10 percent when it freezes and the fact that the length and width of the tank will not change, the maximum height of the ice is l.lx centimeters. Since the height of the tank is 270 centimeters, it follows that l.lx = 270, or, to the nearest whole number, x = 245. The correct answer is Choice D.
This explanation uses the following strategy.
Strategy 1: Translate from Words to an Arithmetic or Algebraic Representation
