Answer 2

Answer:

• The 125 litres of water it can hold.

Given :

• A tank is 3 by 5 full of water.

• 50 litres more are required to fill it up.

To find :

• How many litres can tank hold =?

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the whole capacity of the tank be x.

A tank is 3 by 5 full of water. [Given]

Remaining Portion,

∴ 3/5 + x = 1

x = 1 - (3/5)

x = (5 - 3) / 5

x = 2/5

So, the remaining portion = 2/5.

Number of litres of water tank can hold = remaining portion - required water

Substituting the values in the above formula, we get,

2/5x = 50

x = (50 x 5) /2

x = 250/2

x = 125.

So, the 125 litres of water it can hold
