<h3>Answer:</h3>

The tank can hold up to 9 gallons.

Quick Review:

By doing the inverse of 7/12, 12/7, when you multiply it, you'll get a value of 1.

7/12 * 12/7 = 1

Doing the Problem:

By multiplying 5 1/4 by 12/7, you'll get the answer. But first, convert 5 1/4 into an improper fraction.

5 1/4 ---> 21/4

Okay, lets go!

21/4 * 12/7 = 252/28

<u>When reduced, this gives you the answer 9/1, or 9 gallons.</u>

Hope that helps, :)

Answer: $467.21

Step-by-step explanation:

8% of 600 = 48

600 - 48 = 552

8% of 552 = 44.16

552 - 44.16 = 507.84

8% of 507.84 = 40.6272

8% of 507.84 ≈ 40.63

507.84 - 40.63 = 467.21
