Answer:
49.6 liters
Explanation:
Let x represent the amount of water held by the large ice chest. Given that x = 62 liters.
Also, let y represent the amount of water held by the small chest. The small chest holds 4/5 of the water held by the large chest, hence:
y = (4/5)x
Since x = 62 liters
y= 4/5 × 62 = 49.6
y = 49.6 liters
This means that the smaller ice chest can hold up to 49.6 liters of water
