6 Tanks

 

  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
