Question

Fractions: three oil tankers together contain 37 5/7 litres of oil. If two tankers have 11 3/14 litres and 12 3/7 litres of oil. Find the oil in the third tanker

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

It is given that, three oil tankers together contain 37 5/7 litres of oil.

Total volume of oil is $\dfrac{264}{7}\ L$

If two tankers have 11 3/14 litres and 12 3/7 litres of oil.

Oil in first tanker is $\dfrac{157}{14}\ L$

Oil in second tanker is $\dfrac{87}{7}\ L$

Oil in first and second tanker is :

$\dfrac{157}{14}\ L+\dfrac{87}{7}\ L=\dfrac{331}{14}\ L$

Noo, oil in the third tanker = total volume - (Oil in first tanker + second tanker )

$=\dfrac{264}{7}\ L-\dfrac{331}{14}\ L\\\\=\dfrac{197}{14}\ L$

Hence, this is the required solution.
