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.

Susan is 50 inches tall. myra is 3 inches taller than elanie,who is 2 inches shoerter than susan. how tall is myra

adoni [48]

Myra is 51 inches tall.

We'll use Susan as our base for this. She is 50 inches tall, and ignoring Myra or now, we move on to Elanie, who is said to be 2 inches shorter than Susan - therefore, Elanie is 48 inches tall. Now that we know this, we can return to Myra's information which says she is 3 inches taller than Elanie, which would mean she is in fact 51 inches tall.
