Answer 1

$hi..$

$here's \: \: your \: \: answer$

A tank is 3 / 5 full of water .

Let the common multiple be x .

Thus ,
3x of the tank is filled and the capacity of the tank is 5x .

50 litres more are required to fill the tank .

So ...

$3x + 50 = 5x$
$50 = 5x - 3x$
$2x = 50$

$x = \frac{50}{2}$

$x = 25$

Capacity of tank = 5x = 5(25) = 125litres

____________________________
Final Answer :
The tank can hold 125 litres .

Answer 2

A tank is 3/5 full of water.

It means that 2/5 of tank is still empty.

To fill the tank completely, 50 litres of water is needed.

So, we can say that,

To fill the 2/5 of tank, 50 litres of water is neede.

So,

2/5 × Capacity of tank = 50

Capacity of tank = 50 × 5/2

Capacity of tank = 250 / 2

Capacity of tank = 125.

So, tank can hold 125 litres of water.
