Let x be the capacity of the tank then
3x/4-x/8 =15,
then x=24, so so far it has 3/4 *24 =18 so you need 6 gallons to fill it up

13 9/10 divided by 3 1/2

Arlecino [84]

Answer:

$3 \frac{13}{44}$

Step-by-step explanation:

First let's write our equation

$13 \frac{9}{10} \div 3 \frac{1}{2}$

Now let's make them improper fractions

$\frac{139}{10} \div \frac{7}{2}$

Now since we're dividing we with fractions we do the reciprocal and multiply

$\frac{139}{10} \times \frac{2}{7}$

or

$\frac{139}{5} \times \frac{1}{7} = \frac{139}{42} = 3 \frac{13}{42}$

How do I do this question?

Check the picture below.

now, based on the provided information, we know the hexagon and triangle are regular polygons, <u>equal sides and equal angles</u>, we also know the angle in pink there of E and G are twins inside that irregular trapezoid, and you can see the exterior angles labeled there of 220° and 136°.

now, the trapezoid has twin angles at E and G, that means that the sides of DE and JG are equal and that also means that the other two angles inside that trapezoid are also twins, namely D and J.

if you notice the hexagon on the left-hand-side, a hexagon has interior angles of 120° and if we take a peek at the vertex at D, it has two angles then, one interior or 120° and an exterior of 136°, a <u>full revolution</u> will be 360°, so the remaining angle in green there must be 360° - 120° - 136° = 104°, and her twin at vertex J is also 104°.
