a tank is 2/3 full,when 2400litres of water is drawn it becomes 1/4.how much water does the water hold when full
@evasami,
Let V be the volume of the tank.
2/3V-1/4V=2400 l
(2/3-1/4)V=2400 l
(8/12-3/12)V=2400 l
5/12V=2400 l
V=12/5*2400 l
V=24/10*2400 l
V=24*240 l
V=5760 l
Check answer
2/3*5760 l= 3840 l
1/4*5760 l= 1440 l
3840 l-1440 l= 2400 l
OK
So
V= 5760 l
Rap
@evasami,
thank you guys you made it look so easy
