Answer 1

Answer:

Let the capacity of the tank be x liters.

(4/5)x - 190 = (1/6)x, or LCM of the denominator is 30, hence

24x - 190*30 = 5x, or

24x - 5x = 190*30, or

19x = 190*30, or

x = 300 liters.

The tank has a capacity of 300 liters.

Check: (4/5)*300 - 190 = 240–190 = 50 which is 1/6th of the tank. Correct.

hope it helps u

Answer 2

Answer:1/6

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the capacity of the tank be x liters.

(4/5)x - 190 = (1/6)x, or LCM of the denominator is 30, hence

24x - 190*30 = 5x, or

24x - 5x = 190*30, or

19x = 190*30, or

x = 300 liters.

The tank has a capacity of 300 liters.

Check: (4/5)*300 - 190 = 240–190 = 50 which is 1/6th of the tank. Correct.
