Answer: It is only one can that can be filled up.
Step-by-step explanation: If 1 gas can can hold 10 L of gas and you only have 7 L then how can you fill up more than 1 gas can with only 7 L? You don't have enough gas to fill up more than 1 gas can. So you are left with only 1 gas can filled but only with 7 L.
Answer:
M
Step-by-step explanation:
because it is equal on either side if you cut a line down the middle of the letter
So 15 gallons of gas brought it from 1/8 full to 3/4 full.
Let's change 3/4 to the equivalent fraction 6/8 so that the denominators are the same. (3/4 = 6/8)
So 15 gallons of gas brought it from 1/8 to 6/8 Those 15 gallons must be 5/8 of the tank's capacity 6/8 - 1/8 = 5/8
So 15 is 5/8 of what number? (This will tell us the capacity of the whole tank)
15 = 5/8n
Divide both sides by 5/8 (remembering to multiply by the reciprocal 8/5)
15 ÷ 5/8 = 15 x 8/5 = 18
So the tank holds 24 gallons and (since it is 3/4 full or has 18 gallons) it needs 6 gallons to fill the tank.
Check - at first 1/8 full (1/8 of 24 = 3) So we started with 3 gallons. 15 gallons added to the 3 gallons is 18 gallons. Now the tank is 6/8 (3/4 full). The remaining 1/4 (2/8) of a tank is the difference between 18 and it's capacity (24 gallons) so it will need 6 gallons to fill it up..
It took 9 hours of labor. 500 - 140 = 360...... 360 / 40 = 9.
Answer: 9.
