Question

A fish fank was 3/4 full, and then 1/3 of the water leaked out,

Answer 1

Answer:

5) It was 5/12 of the way full

6) It holds 48 gallons.

Step-by-step explanation:

For #5, you can simply find the lowest common denominator, which was 12, so you would multiply 3/4 by 3/3 and 1/3 by 4/4, giving you 9/12 and 4/12. Next you would subtract 4 from 9 and get the answer 5/12.

For #6 you can set up the problem as a ratio, 5/12 and 20/x, and then cross multiply, getting the equation 5x = 240. Then divide by 5 and you get the answer 48.

Hope this helps!!
