Answer: 12000 liters
Explanation:
x = full tank capacity
2/3 of x = (2/3)*x = 8000 which is the amount Ron states when its 2/3 full
To solve for x, we will multiply both sides by 3 and then divide both sides by 2 like so
(2/3)x = 8000
2x = 8000*3
2x = 24000
x = 24000/2
x = 12000 liters is the full capacity
Note that,
2/3 of 12000 = (2/3)*12000 = 8000
which confirms our answer.
