The answer would be 14/15
Find a common denominator that both of the fractions can use. An easy way to do this is simply multiply the denominators together. So for 3/5 you would multiply by 3 to get the fraction 9/15 and then multiply 1/3 by 5 to get 5/15. Add both 9/15 and 5/15 to then get 14/15.
The answer is 51 liters.
Since they have a direct relationship, set up a direct proportion.
17/476=x/1428
476x3 is 1428 so
17x3=51
