Answer:

47378.31625 Liters

Step-by-step explanation:

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
