Question

A water tank was 1/8 full of water

when 10,500 litres of water was added into the tank it became 3/4 full Determine the quantity of water in litres the tank can hold when it is completely full​

Answer 1

16800

Explanation:

1/8 ÷ 3/4 × 10500/1

1/8 × 4/3 × 10500/1

1/5× 10500/1

= 2100× 8

= 16800

Answer 2

16,800 Liters

Explanation:

Convert 3/4 into eighths, because it was already 1/8 full before the 10,500 liters were added:

3/4= 6/8

Subtract 1/8 from that (because it was already 1/8 full):

6/8-1/8= 5/8

Divide 10,500 by the 5 (because you want how many liters each part is):

10,500/5= 2,100

You know can say that every eighth is 2,100 Liters of water.

Multiply that by the 8 total parts it can hold:

2,100x8= 16,800 Liters
