Let's call 'it' x. 1/2 is equal to one third of x, so we could say that 1/3x = 1/2
Now we just have a simple equation to solve:
1/3x = 1/2
x = (1/2) / (1/3)
Dividing by a rational number (such as 1/3, which is expressed in fraction form) is the same as multiplying by its reciprocal (the reciprocal of a fraction is itself when the numerator and denominator have been swapped). Therefore
x = (1/2) / (1/3) = (1/2) * 3 = 3/2 = 1.5
To check this answer, test the statement. Half is a third of x, where x=1.5:
1.5 / 3 = 0.5 = 1/2
Answer:
2 more quarts of oil is needed to fill
the engine to capacity
Step-by-step explanation:
Here, we want to calculate how many more quarts of oil is required to fill the engine to capacity
We have to convert the capacity to quarts
Mathematically, 1 gallon = 4 quarts
So 1 1/4 gallon will be 5/4 * 4 = 5 quarts
So the number of quarts needed to fill the engine to capacity will be 5 quarts - 3 quarts = 2 quarts
