Answer 1

Answer:

67.53 kiloliters.

$20\%\text{ of }\ 7.95=\ 1.59$

Step-by-step explanation:

We have been given that the capacity of the molten sea, a furnishing of the temple, is given as 2000 baths.

First of all, we will convert 2000 baths into gallons by multiplying 2000 with 8.92.

$2000\text{ Baths}\times \frac{\text{8.92 gallons}}{\text{Bath}}=2000\times{\text{8.92 gallons}=17,840{\text{ gallons}$

We know that 1 gallon equals 0.00378541 kiloliters, so we will multiply 17,840 by 0.00378541.

$17,840{\text{ gallons}\times \frac{\text{0.00378541 Kiloliters}}{\text{gallon}}$

$17,840\times 0.00378541\text{ Kiloliters}$

$67.5317144\text{ Kiloliters}\approx 67.53\text{ Kiloliters}$

Therefore, the Molten sea hold 67.53 kiloliters.

We can find 20% of $7.95 as shown below:

$20\%\text{ of }\ 7.95=\frac{20}{100}\times\ 7.95$

$20\%\text{ of }\ 7.95=0.20\times\ 7.95$

$20\%\text{ of }\ 7.95=\ 1.59$

Therefore, 20% of $7.95 would be $1.59.
