I need to calculate total amount of residual tank in which the system has multiple propellant tanks but not sure if calculation below is correct or not. Provided that the amount of residual propellant for each tank is 5 kg and that the system has 3 tanks, in this case, the total amount of residual propellant would be 5 kg times 3 (ie. 15 kg). Is this correct?
