Question

A tank holds 1,000 gallons of syrup. Danielle filled 65 5-gallon cans with syrup. How much syrup was left in the tank when she finished?

Answer 1

Answer: There was 675 gallons left in the tank when she finished.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

Total capacity of a tank = 1000 gallons of syrup

Number of cans with syrup filled by Danielle = 65

Number of gallon in each can = 5 gallons

Total number of gallons in 5 cans of syrup is given by

$65\times 5\\\\=325\ gallons$

so, Amount of syrup was left in the tank when she finished is given by

$1000-325\\\\=675\ gallons$

Hence, there was 675 gallons left in the tank when she finished.

Answer 2

65 times 5 is 325 then u take 1000 and minus 325 from it and end up with 675
