3\frac{1}{6} gallons are left in the tank.

  • The total capacity of the tank = 9.5 gallons
  • The total amount of water poured out in gallons = 6\frac{1}{3}
<h2>Further Explanation</h2>

To determine the total amount left in the tank = Total capacity of the tank – Total amount of water poured out in gallons

= 9.5 (also expressed as 95/10) – 6\frac{1}{3} (otherwise expressed as 19/3)

= 95/10 – 19/3

= (95 x 3) – (19 x 10) / 30

= (285) – (190) / 30

= 285 – 190 / 30

= 95/30

= 19/6

= 3\frac{1}{6} gallons

The above solution to the given mathematical problem was derived as a result of following the rules of BODMAS.

The math problem has an element of fractions in it.

9.5 is the given value of the tank, and was expressed as fraction i.e 95/10 because the volume of water poured out of the tank was given as a fraction and whole number ( 6\frac{1}{3} ), which was then factored to get a fractional value (19/3).

To determine the remaining gallons left in the tank, the Lowest Common Multiples of the denominators (30) was factored out, and is divided by the denominators and then multiplied to by the numerators of both fractions.

The derived values were subtracted from each other, and broken down to their lowest factors to finally derive the total amount of gallons of water left in the tank.

Answer:

Water left in tank is 3\frac{1}{6} gallons.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given :

Capacity of tank = 9.5 gallons  =\frac{95}{10}

Water taken out of tank =6\frac{1}{3}=\frac{19}{3} gallons

We have to find the water left in the tank.

Water left in the tank = Total capacity of tank - water taken out of tank

                                    =\frac{95}{10}-\frac{19}{3}

Taking LCM of (3,10)= 30

\Rightarrow \frac{95 \times 3-19 \times10}{30}

Solving further, we get,

\Rightarrow \frac{285-190}{30}

\Rightarrow \frac{95}{30}=\frac{19}{6}=3\frac{1}{6}

Thus, Water left in tank is 3\frac{1}{6} gallons..

Makaila read 44 pages of her book yesterday and 2/3 of the book today. If she read a total of 200 pages in the past two days how
pogonyaev

Answer:

Total number of pages in the book is 234.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let us assume that the total number of pages in the book = <em>x</em>

Now, it is given that Makaila read 44 pages yesterday.

Also, Makaila read two-third of the book today. As we have assumed that, there are a total of x number of pages in the book, so we can say that Makaila read two-third of <em>x </em>number of pages today.

Number of pages read by Makaila today = \frac{2}{3}\;of\;x=\frac{2}{3}\times\;x=\frac{2x}{3}

Now, it is also given that, Makaila read a total of 200 pages in the past two days.

∴ according to question,

Pages read yesterday + Pages read today = 200

⇒44+\frac{22x}{3}=200

⇒\frac{44\times3+2x}{3}=200

⇒\frac{132+2x}{3}=200

⇒132+2x=200\times3\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;[On\;cross-multiplying]

⇒132+2x=600

⇒2x=600-132

⇒2x=468

⇒x=\frac{468}{2}=234

∴ Total number of pages in the book = <em>x</em> = 234
