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.

Percent increase : (new number - original number) / (original number)....then multiply that by 100 to get ur percent.

(5.98 - 4.6) / (4.6) = 1.38/4.6 = 0.3......0.3 x 100 = 30% <==

Simplify the expression. -5/8(-3/8-1/4) ​
prisoha [69]

Answer:

25/64

Step-by-step explanation:

To get this answer, first you need to use the distributive property:

(-3/8)(-5/8) - (1/4)(-5/8)

Next, multiply:

15/64 - (-5/32)

Change the negative signs into a positive sign:

15/64 + 5/32

Multiply 5/32 by 2 on both top and bottom:

15/64 + (5)(2)/(32)(2)

You will then get:

15/64 + 10/64

Now, add the numerators. You will get:

25/64

This is your answer. I hope it helped!
