When a water tank is filled with 221 of water,it is only 1/6 full .What is the capacity of the tank ?

1 answer

To find the capacity of the tank, we can set up the equation based on the information given:

If \( 221 \) liters of water is \( \frac{1}{6} \) of the total capacity \( C \) of the tank, we can write:

\[ \frac{1}{6}C = 221 \]

To find \( C \), we can multiply both sides of the equation by \( 6 \):

\[ C = 221 \times 6 \]

Calculating that:

\[ C = 1326 \]

So, the capacity of the tank is \( 1326 \) liters.
