Based on the capacity of the container and the capacity currently being used, the amount of water in the container is <u>3/8 gallons. </u>
The container is capable of holding 1/2 gallons of water.
If it is holding 3/4 of that 1/2 gallons, the amount of water it would be holding is:
<em>= Capacity of container x Percentage full </em>
= 1/2 x 3/4
= 3/8 gallons of water
In conclusion, the container is currently holding 3/8 gallons of water.

Answer:
75
Step-by-step explanation:
Since the ratio between flamingos and chachalacas is 2:1, we see that the ratio of flamingos to chachalacas to parrots to herons is 10:5:7:3. The sum of these numbers is 25, so every 'ratio number' gets 375/25 = 15 animals. So the number of chachalacas is 15 * 5 = 75.
The smallest of the four numbers is x.
Since the four numbers are consecutive, this means that each number is one more than the previous.
Therefore, the four numbers are:
x
x + 1
x+1 + 1 = x+2
x+2 + 1 = x+3
Now, we are given that the sum (s) of the four numbers is 2174
This means that:
s = x+x+1+x+2+x+3
s = 4x + 6
We are given that s = 2174. Substitute with s in the above equation and solve for x as follows:
2174 = 4x + 6
4x = 2174 - 6
4x = 2168
x = 2168 / 4
x = 542
Based on the above calculations, the four numbers are:
542, 543, 544 and 555
So if 360 is increased by 25%, you would end up with 450 (360 x 1.25), than if the result, 450 is decreased by 50% ( 450 x .50 = 225) (450 - 225 = 225) you would end up with 225.
