    Amount of water left in the tank = 125 liters

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Capacity of the tank = 500 liters

    Amount of water after downpour = 2/3 * 500 = 333.33333 liters

    Amount piped into a water distillation plant = 5/8 * 2/3 * 500 = 208.33333 liters

    Amount of water left in the tank = 333.33333 - 208.333333 = 125 liters

    112.5 litres

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Here the question sats that the capacity of a water tank is 500 liters. After a downpour 3/5 of the tank is full. Then 5/8 of the water in the tank is piped to a water distilation plant. How much water is left in the tank?

    Before rushing to calculate the quantity of water that is still left in the tank, we need to find the actual amount of water in the tank before some of it was pipes to a distillation plant.

    3/5 * 500 = 300 litres of water

    Them the amount of water that was passed on to the distillation plants plants is

    5/8 * 300 = 187.5 litres of water

    Therefore, the quantity of water left in the tank will be

    300-187.5 = 112.5 litres
