Question

A lorry tank was 1/6 full of petrol when the gauge indicated 17 litres. What is the full capacity of the tank in litres?​

Answer 1

Answer:

102 liters

Solution,

Let the full capacity of the tank be 'x'

Now,

$\frac{1}{6} \: of \: x = 17 \\ or \: \frac{1}{6} x = 17 \\ or \: x = \frac{17}{ \frac{1}{6} } \\ or \: x = 17 \times \frac{6}{1} \\ or \: x = 17 \times 6 \\ x = 102 \: litres$

Hope this helps...

Good luck on your assignment..
