Please help with question 2, I’m too tired to think right now, and it’s for my little sister and it’s due tomorrow! Ignore the number she wrote because she doesn’t know what she’s doing.

Answer 1

Answer:

2000 L

Step-by-step explanation:

There are 1250 L of water in a tank at present. If the tank is 0.625 full, what is the capacity of the tank?

The simple solution is:

1250 L ÷ 0.625 = 2000 L

The algebraic solution is:

Let c equal the capacity of the tank.

Therefore, c × 0.625 = 1250.

Divide both sides by 0.625:

c × 0.625 ÷ 0.625 = 1250 ÷ 0.625

And simplify:

c = 1250 ÷ 0.625

c = 2000
