A tank is 4/5 full of water.After drawing off 190 litres of water it is just 1/6 full.What is the capacity of the tank?

1 answer:

5 0

Let's convert the fractions to the same denominator

$\frac{4}{5} = \frac{24}{30}$
$\frac{1}{6} = \frac{5}{30}$

this means that when 190 liters, or 19/30 of the water was drawn off, there was 1/6 left.

let's create an equation and solve for x. we know that 190 is equal to 19/30 of the the tank. what about 1/30? we nee to divide each side by 19 to find out.

190/10 would be 19. this means that 1/30 of the tank is 19 liters.

to find the full tank, or 30/30 of the tank, multiply 19 by by 30, to get 570.

the full capacity of the tank is 570 liters

hope this helped!

p.s. can i have brainliest?

Use the unit circle to find the inverse function value in degrees. tan^-1 sqrt 3

mr Goodwill [35]

Use the unit circle to find the inverse function value in degrees.tan^-1 sqrt 3

The correct answer would be 60 degrees. Since you are asked to find an angle that the tangent is equal to sqrt 3. The only angle that is equal to that given the interval is 60 degrees. So that is the correct answer. I hope this answer helped you.
