Question

a water tank is 1 by 5 full after drawing of 16 it is 1 by 6 full what is the capacity of the water tank​

Answer 1

The capacity of the water tank is 480 liters

Step-by-step explanation:

capacity= x

Level of tank =$\frac{1}{5} x$

After 16 litres it is just 1/6 full

So, Level of water now = $\frac{1}{6}x$

$\frac{1}{5}x -16=\frac{1}{6} x$

$\frac{1}{5} x-\frac{1}{6} x=16$

$\frac{x}{30} =16$

$x-16 * 30$

$x=480$

The water tank is 480 liters
