A container when 3/8 full holds 15 litres of gas how many litres of gas would be needed to fill 5 similar containers.

v=5*8/3 *15 liters

7+8

To find out how many liters of gas would be needed to fill 5 similar containers, we first need to determine how many liters of gas would fill one container.

Given that the container is 3/8 full and holds 15 liters of gas, we can set up the following equation:

(3/8) * C = 15

Here, C represents the capacity of one container. To solve for C, we can isolate it by multiplying both sides of the equation by the reciprocal of 3/8, which is 8/3.

(8/3) * (3/8) * C = (8/3) * 15

On simplifying the equation, we get:

C = 8 * 15 / 3

C = 40 liters

So, one container has a capacity of 40 liters.

To find out how many liters would be needed to fill 5 similar containers, we can simply multiply the capacity of one container (40 liters) by the number of containers (5).

Total liters needed = Capacity of one container * Number of containers

Total liters needed = 40 liters * 5

Total liters needed = 200 liters

Therefore, 200 liters of gas would be needed to fill 5 similar containers.
