Question

If a 51 gal hot water tank holds 425 lb of water, what weight of water will a 64 gal tank hold? (Round to Nearest whole number)

Answer 1

Answer:

  533 lb

Step-by-step explanation:

We expect the weight of 64/51 times the amount of water to be 64/51 times as much as 425 lb:

  (64/51)(425 lb) = 533 1/3 lb

The 64 gallon tank will hold about 533 pounds of water.
