A tank holds 15 litres of water.A cup holds 3/10 of a litre. How many cups of water does the tank hold
15liters/tank*1Cup/.3liters= 50 cups/tank
I think Ms Sue multiplied when she mean to divide.
Thanks, Bobpursley. I just realized my mistake.
15/(3/10)=15*(3/10)45/10=4 1/5
To find out how many cups of water the tank holds, we need to divide the tank's capacity (15 liters) by the capacity of one cup (3/10 liters).
First, let's convert the capacity of one cup from a fraction to a decimal. To do this, we divide the numerator (3) by the denominator (10):
3 ÷ 10 = 0.3
Now, we can divide the tank's capacity (15 liters) by the capacity of one cup (0.3 liters):
15 ÷ 0.3 = 50
Therefore, the tank holds 50 cups of water.
