Answer:

The actual water in the tank is 29.76 gallons.

Step-by-step explanation:

It is given that the farmer estimated amount of water is 25 gallons.

It is also given that he underestimate the water in tank by 16%.

Let the actual water in tank be x.

(1-\frac{16}{100})x=25

(\frac{100-16}{100})x=25

84x=25\times 100

x=\frac{2500}{84}

x=29.7619

x\approx 29.76

Therefore the actual water in the tank is 29.76 gallons.

Answer:

Part 1) -1.25 -------> 2.75/(-2.2)

Part 2) -4\frac{1}{3} --------> (-2\frac{3}{5}) / (\frac{3}{5})

Part 3) \frac{2}{3} ------> (-\frac{10}{17}) / (-\frac{15}{17})

Part 4) 3 ------> (2\frac{1}{4}) / (\frac{3}{4})

Step-by-step explanation:

Part 1) we have

2.75/(-2.2)

To calculate the division problem convert the decimal number to fraction number

2.75=275/100\\ -2.2=-22/10      

so

(275/100)/(-22/10)

Remember that

Since division is the opposite of multiplication, you can turn this division problem into a multiplication problem by multiplying the top fraction by the reciprocal of the bottom fraction

(275/100)/(-22/10)=(275/100)*(-10/22)=-(275*10)/(22*100)=-(275)/(220)

Simplify

Divide by 22 both numerator and denominator

-(275)/(220)=-125/100=-1.25

Part 2) we have

(-2\frac{3}{5}) / (\frac{3}{5})

To calculate the division problem convert the mixed number to an improper fraction  

(-2\frac{3}{5})=-\frac{2*5+3}{5}=-\frac{13}{5}

so

(-\frac{13}{5}) / (\frac{3}{5})

Since division is the opposite of multiplication, you can turn this division problem into a multiplication problem by multiplying the top fraction by the reciprocal of the bottom fraction

(-\frac{13}{5}) / (\frac{3}{5})=(-\frac{13}{5})*(\frac{5}{3})=-\frac{13*5}{5*3}=-\frac{13}{3}

Convert to mixed number

-\frac{13}{3}=-(\frac{12}{3}+\frac{1}{3})=-4\frac{1}{3}

Part 3) we have

(-\frac{10}{17}) / (-\frac{15}{17})

Since division is the opposite of multiplication, you can turn this division problem into a multiplication problem by multiplying the top fraction by the reciprocal of the bottom fraction

(-\frac{10}{17}) / (-\frac{15}{17})=(-\frac{10}{17})*(-\frac{17}{15})=\frac{10*17}{17*15}=\frac{10}{15}

Simplify

Divide by 5 both numerator and denominator

\frac{10}{15}=\frac{2}{3}

Part 4) we have

(2\frac{1}{4}) / (\frac{3}{4})

To calculate the division problem convert the mixed number to an improper fraction  

(2\frac{1}{4})=\frac{2*4+1}{4}=\frac{9}{4}

so

(\frac{9}{4}) / (\frac{3}{4})

Since division is the opposite of multiplication, you can turn this division problem into a multiplication problem by multiplying the top fraction by the reciprocal of the bottom fraction

(\frac{9}{4}) / (\frac{3}{4})=(\frac{9}{4})*(\frac{4}{3})=\frac{9*4}{4*3}=\frac{9}{3}=3
