645.7 litre of water are poured into 8 empty tanks. What is the average amount of water in each tank? Give your answer in litres, correct to 1 decimal place.
To find the average amount of water in each tank, we need to divide the total amount of water by the number of tanks.
Total amount of water = 645.7 litres
Number of tanks = 8
Average amount of water in each tank = Total amount of water / Number of tanks
Average amount of water in each tank = 645.7 litres / 8
Average amount of water in each tank ≈ 80.7 litres (rounded to 1 decimal place)
Therefore, the average amount of water in each tank is approximately 80.7 litres.
To find the average amount of water in each tank, we need to divide the total amount of water by the number of tanks.
First, let's calculate the amount of water in each tank. We have 645.7 liters of water and 8 empty tanks.
Therefore, we'll divide 645.7 by 8:
645.7 liters / 8 tanks = 80.7125 liters per tank
Since the question asks for the answer to one decimal place, we round the result to the nearest tenth:
80.7125 → 80.7
So, the average amount of water in each tank, rounded to one decimal place, is 80.7 liters.
that would be 645.7/8
