The amount of water in the two tanks will be the same in
weeks.

Answer 1

Answer:

53 weeks

Step-by-step explanation:

let after X weeks , the amount of water in two tanks would be same.

so, after X weeks,

remaining water in tank 1 = 212-3x

remaining water in tank2= 318 - 5x

since , remaining water is same in both tanks

so, 318-5x. = 212-3x

318-212= 5x-3x

106 = 2x

X= 53 weeks
