Question

3.

Answer 1

Answer:

a. 16 gallons

b. 32

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the full capacity of the tank is x gallons.

a. It is given that 12 gallons of water fill a tank to $\frac{3}{4}$ capacity.

Hence, we can write $\frac{3x}{4} = 12$

⇒ $x = \frac{4 \times 12}{3} = 16$ gallons.

b. If the tank is filled to capacity, then there will be 16 gallons of water, with which $\frac{16}{\frac{1}{2} } = 32$ numbers of half-gallon bottles of be filled with water. (Answer)
