If a storage tank is holding 450 litres when it is
three-quarters full, how much will it contain
when it is two-thirds full?
400
450 = 3/4, then 150 = 1/4
full = 600
2/3 * 600 = ?
600

This question was too complecated
HOW is the step done?
I need your help in that maths
To solve this problem, we need to find the capacity of the storage tank when it is two-thirds full.
First, let's determine the capacity of the storage tank when it is three-quarters full. We know that it contains 450 liters in this state.
To find the capacity of the tank when it is full, we can calculate the total capacity of the tank by dividing the current capacity (450 liters) by the percentage filled (three-quarters or 75%).
Formula: Capacity of tank = Current capacity / Percentage filled
Capacity of tank = 450 liters / 0.75 (75% expressed as a decimal)
Capacity of tank = 600 liters
Now that we know the capacity of the tank when it is full, we need to find out how much it will contain when it is two-thirds full.
To calculate this, we multiply the capacity of the tank when full (600 liters) by the percentage filled (two-thirds or 66.67%).
Formula: Quantity in tank = Capacity of tank * Percentage filled
Quantity in tank = 600 liters * 0.67 (66.67% expressed as a decimal)
Quantity in tank ≈ 402 liters
Therefore, when the storage tank is two-thirds full, it will contain approximately 402 liters.
