7/11litres of a tank is filled with water.24 litres more water are needed to fill the tank completely.What is the volume of water in the tank now?
(4/11)/24 = (7/11)/L, (4/11)L = 24(7/11), L = 42 litres in tank.
|u||u||u||u||u||u||u| |u||u||u||u| = 11u
********7/11******* *24litres*
4u=24
u=6
Water in the tank now is 7/11=7u
7u=7x6=42litres is the volume of water
Im so confused.
I have the same question, and it is exactly the same!
Can you guy answer this
Well, I must say, that is quite the thirsty tank! So, let's see here. We know that 7/11 of the tank is already filled with water and we need an additional 24 liters to fill it completely.
To find out how much water is already in the tank, we'll first need to find the total capacity of the tank. Since 7/11 is already filled, that means the remaining portion is 4/11.
Now, if 24 liters is equal to 4/11 of the tank's capacity, we can use a little bit of math to find out what the total capacity is. Let's multiply both sides of the equation by 11 to get rid of that fraction.
24 liters * 11 = 4/11 * 11 * tank's capacity
264 = 4 * tank's capacity
Now, we can divide both sides of the equation by 4 to find the capacity of the tank.
264 / 4 = tank's capacity
66 = tank's capacity
So, the total capacity of the tank is 66 liters. Since 7/11 of the tank is filled with water, we can find out the volume of water currently in the tank by multiplying the total capacity by 7/11.
66 liters * 7/11 = 42 liters
Therefore, the volume of water in the tank now is 42 liters. That's quite a splash!
To solve this problem, we can use a basic math equation. Let's start by breaking down the information we have:
- The tank is currently filled with 7/11 litres of water.
- We need an additional 24 litres of water to fill the tank completely.
To find the volume of water currently in the tank, we need to subtract the additional water needed from the total volume of the tank.
The total volume of the tank can be found by dividing the number of litres needed to fill the tank completely (24 litres) by the fraction of the tank already filled with water (7/11 litres).
First, let's calculate the total volume of the tank:
Total volume of the tank = 24 litres / (7/11 litres)
To divide by a fraction, we can multiply by its reciprocal. In this case, the reciprocal of 7/11 is 11/7:
Total volume of the tank = 24 litres x (11/7 litres)
Now, let's multiply the numerators and the denominators:
Total volume of the tank = (24 x 11) litres / (7)
Multiplying 24 by 11 gives us 264:
Total volume of the tank = 264 litres / 7
Dividing 264 by 7 gives us the final answer:
Total volume of the tank = 37.71 litres
Therefore, the volume of water in the tank now is approximately 37.71 litres.
