4 0

Answer:

There are 54 total sweets

Step-by-step explanation:

Alex: Stephen : Bridget : total

4: 1 : 1 : 4+1+1 = 6

Alex gets 36

36/4 = 9

Multiply each number by 9

Alex: Stephen : Bridget : total

4*9: 1*9 : 1*9 : 6*9

36: 9 : 9 : 54

There are 54 total sweets

12 gallons of water fill a tank to 3\4 capacity.

harkovskaia [24]

Answer:

A. 16, B.32

Step-by-step explanation:

We will say that $T$ is the total capacity of the tank.

Since 12 gallons of water fill the tank to 3/4 capacity, we know that 12 gallons is 3/4 of the total capacity. Hence,

$12=T \cdot \frac{3}{4}$ .

The last equation tells us that $T=\frac{4\cdot 12}{3}=16$ .

We will say that D is the number of half-gallon bottles that can be filled with the water of the tanke, note that D times 1/2 must be the total capacity of the tank. Hence,

$D \cdot \frac{1}{2}=16$

and so, we get that $D=2 \times 16=32$
