Question

1/7 th of the tank contains fuel. if 22 litres of fuel is poured into the tank the indicator rests at 1/5th mark. what is the quantity of the tank?

Answer 1

Find the fraction of the fuel poured in:

Fraction = 1/5 - 1/7 = 2/35

Find the amount of fuel poured in:

Fuel = 22 litres (Given)

Find the capacity of the tank:

2/35 of the tank = 22 litres

1/35 of the tank = 22 ÷ 2 = 11 litres

35/35 of the tank = 11 x 35 = 385 litres

Answer: The capacity of the tank is 385 litres

Answer 2

Portion = 1/5 - 1/7 = 2/35 Find the measure of fuel poured in:

Fuel = 22 liters (Given) Find the limit of the tank: 2/35 of the tank = 22 liters 1/35 of the tank = 22 ÷ 2 = 11 liters 35/35 of the tank = 11 x 35 = 385 liters

Answer: The limit of the tank is 385 liters.
