1 hectoliter = 100 liters
10.5 × 100 = 1050 liters per tank

Answer:1050 liters

Step-by-step explanation:

To answer this question, we know that 100 liters is equal to 1 hectoliter.

Then, the problem says that each tank has 10.5 hectoliters of water.

To find how many liters does each tank has, we calculate by rule 3:

1 hectoliter............100 liters

10.5 hectoliters....x

X=10.5 * 100

X= 1050 liters

The answer is: each tank has 1050 liters of water.
