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

Answer 1

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.
