Answer:

59.50 liters (fraction from)


(119)/(2) \ in \ fraction \ form.

Explanation:

30% of tank is filled. So, (100 - 30)% of tank is empty.

70% of tank is empty.

Capacity of the tank that is empty = 70% of 85 liters

In decimal form:

= 0.7 * 85

= 59.50 liters

In fraction form:

70% of 85 =
(70)/(100)*85


= (7)/(2)*17\\\\=(119)/(2)
