Question

Number of Gallons 2 4 x

Answer 1

Answer:

The value of x is 8 gallon.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given a table  showing approximate conversion from gallons to liters.

Number of Gallons    2      4      x

Number of Liters      7.6  15.2  30.4

We are required to find value of x,

Given : 2 gallon is equal to 7.6 liters.

⇒  1 liter is equal to $\frac{2}{7.6}=0.263$ liters. ........(1)

given, x gallon equal to 30.4 liters.

⇒ 1 liter is equal to $\frac{x}{30.4}$ liters.  .........(2)

from (1) and (2),

⇒  $0.263=\frac{x}{30.4}$

Solving for x, we get,

⇒  $0.263 \times 30.4=x$

⇒  $7.9952=x$

Approximately x = 8

Thus, the value of x is 8 gallon.
