There are 6 tanks and each with 600 L of water. If 1987 L of water is used, how many litres of water will be there in 6 tanks?
Do you mean the water is taken equally from the six tanks, then . . .
6 • 600 = 3600 total water in six tanks
3600 – 1987 = 1613 total water left in six tanks
1613 / 6 = 268.833 amount in each tank if equally distributed
