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.

Why does it take three copies of 1/6 to show the same amount as one copy of one half
Bogdan [553]
It takes three copies of 1/6 to show the same amount as one copy of 1/2.

Why this is is because a sixth is smaller than a half. There are six sixths in a whole. There are only two halves in a whole.

So when you divide the whole into six parts, you would need half of the parts to have a half. Like down here: <em>(not correct to scale, sorry)</em>

|-------------------|----------------------|

|-----|------|-------|------|-------|-------|

It takes 3 of the sixths to = 1 half.
another way you can check is by simplifying your fractions.
3/6, when you divide by 3 top and bottom, = 1/2
I hope this answers your question somewhat. Please ask if there's anything more
