The length of the new tank is 5 times bigger than the old one, so 154×5=770. As a result, the capacity of the new tank is 770L. Hope it help!

You can use a proportion for this problem. First, always make sure that the units are the same in both scenarios. Then you can set up the proportion: (given m of old tank)/(given L of old tank)=(given m of new tank)/x Let x represent the L in the new tank. Then cross multiply to solve the proportion.
