Question

find the answer : one- third of a tank is filled with water. when another 100 litres of water was poured in,it became half full. How many litres can the tank hold in all

Answer 1

Let water can be hold by tank be x litre
x/3 +100 = x/2
100=x/2 - x/3
100=x/6
x=600 l

Answer 2

The tank can hold 6000 liters in all

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the capacity of tank be x liters

One- third of a tank is filled with water.

Amount of water =$\frac{1}{3}x$

When another 100 litres of water was poured in,it became half full.

So,$\frac{1}{3}x+1000=\frac{x}{2}$

$1000=\frac{x}{2}-\frac{1}{3}x$

$1000=\frac{3x-2x}{6}$

6000=x

Hence the tank can hold 6000 liters in all
