Question

A water tank is 2/3 full. 40 litres of water are taken from the tank. The tank is now 1/2 full. How many litres does the tank hold when full?

Answer 1

⅔ - ½ = 4/6 - 3/6 (make denomenator the same)

= 1/6

Thus, 1/6 = 40 litres

A full tank is 6/6 which equals to 1 whole

So,

1 unit (from 1/6) = 40 litres

6 units (from 6/6) = 40 × 6

= 240 litres

Therefore, the tank holds 240 litres when it is full.

( i hope my solution helps :3 )

x=240 liters

Inconclusion the number of  liters does the tank hold when full is 240 liters.
