Question

the capacity of three water tanks are in the ratio 4:5:6 . The biggest of them can hold 2280 litres.How many litres can others hold?

Answer 1

Answer:

4x, 5x, 6x

the biggest is 6x

6x = 2280

x=2280/6 = 380

4x = 4 * 380 = 1520

5x = 5 * 380 = 1900

Answer 2

Answer:

1520, 1900

Step-by-step explanation:

Let total capacity of all tanks be X

4+5+6= 15

Capacity if biggest tank = 2280

=> 2280= (6/15)*X

=> X = 5700

□For tank 1 => (4/15)*5700 = 1520

□For tank 2 => 5700-(1520+2280) = 1900
