For this case, we must round off each number and then subtract both numbers.
Its largest positional values are:
14685 = 15000
10682 = 11000
We then have to subtract both numbers:
15000-11000 = 4000
answer:
the difference between the numbers is 4000
2000 pounds = 1 ton
1.51 x 2000 = 3020 pounds
3020/8.4 = 359.52 gallons. Round off answer as needed.
The pattern i see is:
double 6's
+2 = 8,
double 8's
+3 = 11,
double 11's
+4 = 15,
double 15's
+5 = 20,
double 20's
+6 = 26,
double 26's
+7 = 33
double 33's
66, 88, 1111, 1515, 2020, 2626, 3333, ....
The equation for this table of values is y = 6x + 1
