Question

the smaller of the two containers has a capacity of 150 gallons.4/5 full, its contents are emptied into a larger container, filling exactly 2/3 of it. What is the capacity, in gallons of the larger container?

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The smaller container has 150 gallons.

Now the large container is filled with the 4/5 th of the smaller container.

So if the full volume of the small container is 150 gallons so the 4/5 th of it can be calculated as, 4/5*150=120 gallons.

Now according to the problem,

2/3 part is filled up with 120 gallons

So 1 part is filled with 120*_3_ gallon

2

= 180 gallons.

So the volume of the large container is 180 gallons
