So 15 gallons of gas brought it from 1/8 full to 3/4 full.
Let's change 3/4 to the equivalent fraction 6/8 so that the denominators are the same. (3/4 = 6/8)
So 15 gallons of gas brought it from 1/8 to 6/8 Those 15 gallons must be 5/8 of the tank's capacity 6/8 - 1/8 = 5/8
So 15 is 5/8 of what number? (This will tell us the capacity of the whole tank)
15 = 5/8n
Divide both sides by 5/8 (remembering to multiply by the reciprocal 8/5)
15 ÷ 5/8 = 15 x 8/5 = 18
So the tank holds 24 gallons and (since it is 3/4 full or has 18 gallons) it needs 6 gallons to fill the tank.
Check - at first 1/8 full (1/8 of 24 = 3) So we started with 3 gallons. 15 gallons added to the 3 gallons is 18 gallons. Now the tank is 6/8 (3/4 full). The remaining 1/4 (2/8) of a tank is the difference between 18 and it's capacity (24 gallons) so it will need 6 gallons to fill it up..

Answer: 5/12 (choice C)</h3>
Explanation:
Recall that tangent = opposite/adjacent.
For reference angle M, the side ON = 5 is the opposite side and MN = 12 is the adjacent side. We don't need the hypotenuse.
Answer:
27/4 or 6 3/4
Step-by-step explanation:
I can't put it in the box because its gonna take to long but it is correct
Answer:
Blanks in order: Multiplication/multiplying, -7.6-4.4, -12
Step-by-step explanation:
Hi there!
<u>The order of operations</u>: Parentheses, exponents, division/multiplication, addition/subtraction
After exponents is division and multiplication. Because there is no division in the expression, the next step would be multiplying 2 and 2.2:
Now our final answer after simplifying the above would be:
I hope this helps!
