First, we have to find how many times 10 goes into 15.

We can divide 15 by 10, and we will see that 10 goes into 15 1 whole time, with 5/10 left over.

Now, we can simplify!

In order to simplify, we have to find the GCF (greatest common factor) of 5 and 10. Let's list out the factors (the numbers that can be divided into 5 and 10)

1*5

1*10
2*5

The largest factor, as we can see, is 5! Let's dicide 5/10 by 5.

5/5=1
10/5=2

So, 5/10 simplifies to 1/2, and, if we bring down the whole number we found before, 15/10 is equal to 1 and 1/2! :)

We can check this answer by multiplying the whole number, 1, by the denominator, (the bottom number of a fraction) 2, and adding the numerator, (the top number of a fraction), 1.

1*2=2
2+1=3

Keep the denominator as 2.

The improper fraction is 3/2, which is equivalent to 15/10 (multiply 3/2 by 5 to see)!

So, our answer is 1 1/2.

I hope I helped! :)

DaniilM [7]

1. The combined volume of all the tanks at the aquarium is written in Scientific notation. Keeping this on mind, you can write it as following:

(1.25)(10^{6})=1,250,000gallons

2. Now, you must sum the combined volume of all the tanks and the volume of  the new tank to calculate the total volume of all of them:Vt=1,250,000gallons+250,000gallons\\Vt= 1,500,000gallons

3. Now, you can write the result in Scientific notation, as following:

Vt=(1.5)(10^{6}) gallons

The answer is: (1.5)(10^{6}) gallons
