You should have written like this
1 hour /16 = x hour /100
x=100/16=25/4=6.25
but it asks how many hours after first hour
6.25-1=5.25
Amount of fuel in the tank before the story begins . . . . . zero.
Total amount poured in . . . . . 3/4 gallon.
Total amount burned:
on Friday . . . . . 1/4 gallon
on Sunday . . . . 1/4 gallon
Total used . . 1/2 gallon .
Amount remaining in the tank on Monday:
(3/4 gallon in) - (1/2 gallon burned) = 1/4 gallon left.
==> NOT empty
The tank would have been empty on Monday IF Becky
had poured in only 1/2 gallon, instead of 3/4 of a gallon
before the first flakes began to fly.
Just convert all your measurements. 1gallon is 4 quarts. So 9 gallons= 36qt and 6 gallons= 24qt so the question becomes 36qt+1qt+24qt+1qt=62qt or 15.5 gallons.
Answer: £225
Step-by-step explanation:
Let Sarah's amount be represented by x.
Since Caroline gets three times as much as Sarah, Caroline will get: 3x
Bridget gets twice as much as Caroline, therefore Bridget will get: 2 × 3x = 6x
Sarah = x
Caroline = 3x
Bridget = 6x
Total = x + 3x + 6x = 10x
Caroline's faction is 3/10. We then multiply the fraction by £750. This will be:
= 3/10 × £750
= 0.3 × £750
= £225
Caroline will get £225
