Hey there! I'm happy to help!
Let's have the capacity be c. The tank is currently at 4/5c. We subtract 190 and then we are at 1/6c. Let's set this up as an equation and solve it.
4/5c-190=1/6c
We want to get the c all by itself to see the capacity of the tank. Let's get all of the c values on the left side of the equation and the numbers on the right by using inverse operations.
4/5c-190=1/6c
Add 190 to both sides.
4/5c=1/6+190
Subtract 1/6 from both sides.
19/30c=190
Divide both sides by 19/30.
c=300
So, the capacity of the tank is 300 liters of water.
Have a wonderful day and keep on learning! :D
Answer:
4 4/5 miles
Step-by-step explanation:
We want to multiply 4/5 * 6
4/5 * 6/1
24/5
We need to change this back to a mixed number
5 goes into 24 4 times (4*5 = 20 with 4 left over)
4 4/5 miles
