Since the diameter of the circle is 6 inches, then the radius will be half that, or 3 inches,
Let the both the parts be 'x' and 'y'
x>y
We know that 4x = 5y
so x = 5y/4
x + y = 54
Replacing x we get
(5y/4) + y = 54
(5y +4y)/4 = 54
9y = 216
y = 24
Replacing y in ' x+y = 54'
we get x = 30
Hence the larger part is 30 whereas the smaller part is 24
The problem statement suggests you should convert dimensions to inches to work this problem.
.. 2.75 ft = 33 in
.. 1.5 ft = 18 in
The empty height is
.. 0.6*7 in = 4.2 in
so the empty volume is
.. V = (33 in)*(18 in)*(4.2 in) = 2494.8 in³
Multiplying this by the conversion factor to gallons gives
.. V = (2494.8 in)³ × (1 gal)/(231 in³) = 10.8 gal
It will take 10.8 gallons of gas to fill the tank.
