Question

The gasoline gauge on a truck reads 1/8 full. after you add 30 gallons the gauge reads 3/4 full. what is the capacity of the tank?​

Answer 1

Answer:

48 gallons

Step-by-step explanation:

$\frac{3}{4} = \frac{6}{8} \\ \frac{6}{8} - \frac{1}{8} = \frac{5}{8} \\ 5 \div 30 = 6 \\ 6 \times 8 = 48$
