A tank holds 240 litres of water. How much water is in the tank? when it is 4/5 full?

Answer 1

• 192 litres of water is in the tank when the tank is 4/5 full.

Explanation:

To determine how much water is in the tank when it is 4/5 full, calculate 4/5ths of 240 litres.

`\begin{aligned}\implies \rm(4)/(5)\;of\;240\;litres&=(4)/(5) * 240\\\\&=(4 * 240)/(5)\\\\&=(960)/(5)\\\\&=(192 * \diagup\!\!\!\!5)/(\diagup\!\!\!\!5)\\\\&=192\; \rm litres\end{aligned}`

Therefore, there is 192 litres of water is in the tank when the tank is 4/5 full.
