Explanation:

The water tank at the institution is full. A water truck begin to full the tank with water at a rate of 8 litres per minute. After 15 minutes the tank was 5/2 full. Calculate the number of litres of water that the tank can hold.

8(15) = 5/2t

120 = 5/2t

240 = 5t

t = 48 litres when full
