Given:
grams of fat : 34 grams TO weight of woman : 102 pounds
grams of fat : ? TO weight of woman : 180 pounds
This is a proportion problem: 34 grams to 102 pounds.
We first have to convert a unit of measure to another to maintain uniformity of measure. let us convert pounds to grams:
102 pounds * 453.592 grams / pound = 46,266.384 grams
180 pounds * 453.592 grams / pound = 81,646.560 grams
34 grams to 46,266.384 grams = x grams to 81,646.560 grams
proportion: a:b = c:d where ad = bc
34 grams * 81,646.560 grams = x * 46,266.384 grams
2,775,983.04 grams² = x * 46,266.384 grams
2,775,983.04 grams² ÷ 46,266.384 grams = x
60 grams = x
A woman weighing 180 pounds should eat 60 grams of fat to maintain her weight.
Since the tank is 66.06% full, it is (100 - 66.06) = 33.94% empty.
Its capacity is 6,000L. So, in order to fill it to capacity, the service station
must order 33.94% of 6,000L .
33.94% = 0.3394
"of" means "times"
0.3394 x 6,000L = <em>2,036.4 liters</em> needed, to fill the tank to the rim.
3/4 = (2*3) / (2* 4) = 6/8
7/8.
Is 3/4 greater than 7/8?
Is like asking is 6/8 greater than 7/8? Because 3/4 is equivalent to 6/8.
The answer is No.
