Question

Tom has a water tank that holds 5 gallons of water.Tom uses water from a full tank to fill 6 bottles that each hold 16 ounces and a pitcher that holds 1/2 gallon.How many ounces of water are left in the water tank?

Answer 1

Answer:

503.525 gallon ( approx )

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

Water hold by of the water tank = 5 gallon

We know that, 1 gallon = 133.228 ounces

⇒ Water hold by of tank in ounces = 5 × 133.228 = 666.139 ounces,

Here, it is given that, 6 bottles that each hold 16 ounces and a pitcher that holds 1/2 gallon is used from tank,

Since, the quantity of water hold by 6 bottle in which each hold 16 ounces = 6 × 16 = 96 ounces,

Also, 1/2 gallon = 1/2 × 1 gallon = 1/2 × 133.228 = 66.614 ounces

Thus, the total consumed water = 96 + 66.614 = 162.614 gallon

Hence, the quantity of water left in the tank = Water hold by of tank in ounces - the total consumed water

= 666.139 - 162.614

= 503.525 gallon

Answer 2

1 gallon is 128 ounces, 5 gallons is 640 ounces. So 6*16=94 ounces Pitcher equals 64 ounces, so 640-158=452, there are 452 ounces of water left
