Omar's gas tank is 1/10 full. After he buys 6 gallons of gas, it is 2/5 full. How many gallons can Omar's tank hold?

1 answer:

4 0

1/10x + 6 = 2/5x
6 = 2/5x - 1/10x
6 = 4/10x - 1/10x
6 = 3/10x
6 / (3/10) = x
6 * 10/3 = x
60/3 = x
20 = x <=== the gas tank can hold 20 gallons

How many 1/3 liters are in 4 2/3 liters

jonny [76]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

This is a division problem.

We want to find how many 1/3 liters are in 4⅔ liters.

We divide to obtain:

$\frac{4 \frac{2}{3} }{ \frac{1}{3} }$

$4 \frac{2}{3} \div \frac{1}{3}$

Convert to improper fraction.

$\frac{14}{3} \div \frac{1}{3}$

$\frac{14}{3} \times \frac{3}{1}$

This simplifies to

$14$

Therefore there are fourteen ⅓ liters in 4⅔ liters
