Step-by-step explanation:
A tank holds 240 litres of water. How much water is in the tank when it is 4/5 full?
Get ready to be amazed with the Nokia 5.3.
There is two possible answers to this, thanks to the ambiguity the question writer neglected to realize.
A tank holds 240 litres of water is a clear statement. There is 240 litres of water in a tank and apparently that makes the tank 4/5 of the way full. But if the question was intended this way, the first sentences actually hands you the answer.
If the intended question is actually a tank CAN hold 240 litres of water. How much water is in there if it’s 4/5 full. You multiply the fraction by the total amount the tank can hold 4/5*240 = 192 litres.
Now all you have to figure out is what the asker intended to ask and why you can’t solve a fraction as someone who is 13 years old or older (assuming you’re following Quora rules).
Answer:
a) 1130 L
b) 4520 L
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the volume of the tank be 'x'
(3/4) x = 3390 L ( three fourth of the tank can hold 3390 litres)
x = 3390 * 4/3 L ( Transposition)
= 1130 * 4 L ( Bit of calculation)
= 4520 L ( This is the volume of the tank )
Now we have already answered question ( b )
Answer for ( b ) is 4520 L
Now for ( a ),
Total volume = 4520 L
Question: (1/4) of 4520
(1/4) * 4520 = 1130 L
Hence the answer for ( a ) is 1130 L
