Question

Fractions: three oil tankers together contain 37 5/7 litres of oil. If two tankers have 11 3/14 litres and 12 3/7 litres of oil. Find the oil in the third tanker

Answer 1

Explanation:

It is given that, three oil tankers together contain 37 5/7 litres of oil.

Total volume of oil is
`(264)/(7)\ L`

If two tankers have 11 3/14 litres and 12 3/7 litres of oil.

Oil in first tanker is
`(157)/(14)\ L`

Oil in second tanker is
`(87)/(7)\ L`

Oil in first and second tanker is :

`(157)/(14)\ L+(87)/(7)\ L=(331)/(14)\ L`

Noo, oil in the third tanker = total volume - (Oil in first tanker + second tanker )

`=(264)/(7)\ L-(331)/(14)\ L\\\\=(197)/(14)\ L`

Hence, this is the required solution.
