    Capacity of Tank B = 750 gal

    363 gal in Tank A and 397.5 gal in Tank B

    Step-by-step explanation:

    (a) Volume of Tank B

    V_A = 550 gal

    V_A/V_B = 11/15

    550/V_B = 11/15

    Multiply each side by 15 (15 * 550) / V_B = 11

    Multiply each side by V_B 5 * 550 = 11V_B

    Divide each side by 11 15 * 50 = V_B

    V_B = 750 gal

    The capacity of Tank B is 750 gal.

    (b) Water in each tank

    In Tank A: 550 * 0.66 = 363 gal

    In Tank B: 750 * 0.53 = 397.5 gal

    There are 363 gal in Tank A and 397.5 gal in Tank B.
