Answer 1

Answer:

FOLlow ME

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 2

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
