C) 2 /3 parts of a tank contains 80 litre of water. How much water does 3/8 parts

of the tank contain?​

Answer 1

45 litres

Explanation:

Let the whole tank contains x litres of water.

Therefore,

`(2)/(3) x = 80 \\ \\ x = 80 * (3)/(2) \\ \\ x = 40 * 3 \\ \\ x = 120 \\ \\ (3)/(8) x = (3)/(8) * 120 \\ \\ = 3 * 15 \\ \\ = 45 \: liters`
