A fountain holds 12500 7/8 gallons of water. Joe wants to calculate how many liters that is. Which proportion could he use to solve for the number of liters? (1 gal = 3.79 L)
From the above question,
1 gallon = 3.79 Liters
12500 7/8 gallons = x Liters
Cross Multiply
x Liters = 12500 7/8 × 3.79 Liters
x = 47378.31625 Liters
Therefore, the number of liters of water in the fountain is 47378.31625 Liters
