Half of 1=1/2=0.5
plus 500
500+0.5=500.5
divide by 2
500.5/2=250.25
4 gallons
If half covers an eighth, then you need half a total if 8 times. So multiply half by 8 and you get 4.

(hope this helps can i plz have brainlist :D hehe)
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
1/(x^3 + 6x^2 + 12x + 8)
Step-by-step explanation:
The first thing we do is rationalize this expression. (2+x)^-3 is written as
1/(2+x)^3
Then from there we can foil out the denominator. It is easiest to foil (2+x)(2+x) first and then multiply that product by (2+x).
(2+x)(2+x) = 4 + 4x + x^2
(4+4x+x^2)(2+x) = 8+8x+2x^2+4x+4x^2+x^3.
Then we combine like terms and put them in order to get:
x^3 + 6x^2 + 12x + 8
And of course we can't forget that this was raised to the negative third power, so our answer is 1/(x^3 + 6x^2 + 12x + 8)
