the container that holdsfor football team is 1/4 full. after pouring in 9 gallons of water it is 5/8 full. how many gallons can
the container hold?
1 answer:
The container used to be 1/4 full, nd when you put in 9 gallons, it is 5/8 full.
First, we should have the fractions have the same denominator
1/4 = 2/8
5/8
We subtract
5/8 - 2/8 = 3/8
So if we add in 9 gallons, 1/8 of the container would be 3 gallons.
2/8 = 6 gallons
6 + 9 = 15 gallons
8/8 - 5/8 = 3/8
3/8 = 9 gallons
15 + 9 = 14 gallons

Answer:
1. 2+(8-6)= 4
2+2=4
2. (9-7)+5= 7
2+5=7
3. 10-(1+8)= 1
10-9=1
4. (3+7)-9= 1
10-9=1
5. (1+2+3)-5= 1
6-5=1
6. 10-(2+3+4)= 1
10-9=1
The correct solution is
CSubtract 6 from both sides of the equation
3x + 6 - 6 = 21 - 6
3x = 15
Then divide both sides by 3
x = 5
It's the product of 12 and 5 1/2, so the answer is 66.
Answer:
a = 180 - 150 = 75
x = 180 - 75 = 48
x = 57
18 cm^3
1/2 x 4 x 3 = 6
6 x 3 = 18
