Answer:

Amount of gas that can be hold by Joe's tank = 16 gallons.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that Joe's gas tank is 1/4 full. After he buys 6 gallons of gas, it is 5/8 full. Now we need to find about how many gallons can Joe's tank hold.

So let's find change that happened after filling the gas.

Change = (5/8 full) - (1/4 full)

Change = (5/8 - 1/4)  full

Change = (5/8 - 2/8)  full

Change = (5 - 2)/8  full

Change = 3/8  full

So that means 3/8 full happens in 6 gallons

then 1 full will happen in 6/(3/8) gallons = 6*(8/3) gallons = 48/3 gallons = 16 gallons

So the amount of gas that can be hold by Joe's tank = 16 gallons.

hey can you help me w/ some math ?? i make $8.50 an hour. monday through sunday only wednesday’s off. how much will i have in 2
enot [183]

Answer:

$29252.1669

Approximately $29252.1

Step-by-step explanation:

For Monday,  Tuesday and Sunday:

=> 8.50 x 5 x 3

=> 8.5 x 15

=> 127.5

I multiplied 8.5 and 5 because you work for 5 hours. Then multiplied them with 3 it is for 3 days.

For Friday, Saturday, Thursday:

=> 8.5 x 6 x 3

=> 8.5 x 18

=> 153

I multiplied 8.5 and 6 because you work for 6 hours. Then multiplied them with 3 because it is for 3 days.

In 1 week you get:

=> 153 + 127.5

=> 280.5

In 1 year there are 52.1429 weeks.

So, you get:

=> 52.1429 x 280.5

=> 14626.08345

For 2 years, you get:

=> 14626.08345x 2

=>  29252.1669

=> Approximately $29252.1
