Three tanks have a total capacity of 266 gallons. If two tanks are the same size and the
other tank is half of their size, how many gallons does the smallest tank hold


Sagot :

Answer:

53.2 gallons

Step-by-step explanation:

let 't' = tank

t + t + t/2 = 266

5/2t = 266

multiply each side by 2/5 to get:

t = 106.4

the two larger tanks can each hold 106.4 gallons

the smaller tank can hold 53.2 gallons
