Answer 1

question is ---> 1/4 0f the tank contains fuel when 11 litres of the fuel is poured into the tank the indica ter rests at the 1/2 mark.find the capacity of the tank in litres.

let the capacity of the tank is X.

A/c to question,

1/4 th part of tank contains fuel when 11 Liter of fuel poured into the tank the indicator rest at 1/2 mark.

so, X/4 + 11 = X/2

⇒ X/4 - X/2 = - 11

⇒ -X/4 = - 11

⇒ X = 44

hence the capacity of the tank is 44 Liters.

Answer 2

Before 11 litres was poured in → Tank was 1/4 filled.

After 11 litres was poured in → Tank became 1/2 filled.

Find the change in fraction:

Change in fraction = 1/2 - 1/4 = 1/4

Find the capacity of the tank:

1/4 of the tank = 11 litres

4/4 of the tank = 11 x 4 = 44 litres

Answer: The tank has a capacity of 44 litres
