Answer: 16 gallons

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we are given the information that 1/4 of the gas is left, it simply means that (1 - 1/4) = 3/4 has been used.

The tank was filled and this was 12 gallons of gas.

Let the gas that the tank hold be represented by x. Therefore,

3/4 of x = 12

3/4 × x = 12

0.75x = 12

x = 12/0.75

x = 16

The tank holds 16 gallons of gas.

Result:
