The smaller of the two containers has a capacity of 150 gallons. When it is $\frac{4}{5}$ full, its contents are emptied into a larger container, filling exactly $\frac{2}{3}$ of it. What is the capacity, in gallons of the larger container?

Answer:

180 gallons

Explanation:

The smaller container has 150 gallons.

Now the large container is filled with the 4/5 of the smaller container.

So if the full volume of the small container is 150 gallons so the 4/5 of it can be calculated as, 4/5*150=120 gallons.
