Answer:  max capacity is 1625 gallons.

Diagram is shown below.

=========================================================

Explanation:

We'll draw two horizontal number lines to help make a comparison or connection between percentages and tank capacity.

For the top number line, make 5 sections with the labels: 0%, 20%, 40%, 60%, 100%. The reason I'm picking 5 is because 40% = 40/100 = 2/5. So having 40% capacity means we're 2/5 full. That denominator 5 tells us how to subdivide each number line.

The bottom number line will also have 5 sections. We only know one label for this bottom portion right now. That label is 650. Place this directly under the "40%". This visually is one way to represent that 650 gallons is 40% filled. See the diagram below.

Cut the 650 in half to get 325. This corresponds to 40% cut in half to get 20%. Therefore, 325 will go under the 20%. Being 20% full means we have 325 gallons of water.

To figure out the 60% portion, we will multiply 325 by 3. This is because 3*20% = 60%, so 3*325 = 975. We'll write "975 gallons" under the "60%"

Then we have 1300 gallons under the 80% since 4*325 = 1300. Note how 4*20% = 80%, so that's where the '4' multiplier comes from.

Finally, we multiply 325 by 5 to get 1625 and that represents the full tank's capacity. Technically we could have just jumped to this directly without having to find the 60% or 80% capacity values, but it's good practice I think.

Again the diagram is shown below. The answer we're after is at the very bottom right corner. It's under the 100% to indicate the tank is completely full, or has reached max capacity.

-----------------------

Here's a way to find the answer without a double number line. This method involves setting up a proportion.

(40% full)/(650 gallons) = (100% full)/(x gallons)

40/650 = 100/x

40x = 650*100

40x = 65000

x = 65000/40

x = 1625

We confirm that the tank's max capacity is 1625 gallons.

Which of the following steps could be used to solve the equation 93 = x + 58? A. Add 58 to both sides. B. Subtract 58 from both
mario62 [17]

Answer:

Subtract 58 from both sides

Step-by-step explanation:

93 = x + 58

Subtract 58 from both sides

93- 58 = x+58-58

35 = x

Answer:

<em>550 </em><em>students are in the school.</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

The way I found my answer was by first turning<em> 74% into a decimal</em>, which is <em>0.74</em>.  Then I <em>divided 407 </em>by<em> 0.74</em> and I got<em> 550</em>.  Therefore, <em>550 is our answer.</em>

Answer:

Side length = 5.8 in

Perimeter = 29

Area = 58 in²

Step-by-step explanation:

✔️Find Side length using trigonometric ratio:

Angle at center of a pentagon is always 36° (we have measure of a full circle, 360, divided by 10 smaller triangles = 36°)

So:

Reference angle = 36°

Adjacent side = 4 in.

Opp = ½ of the side length of the polygon = x (let's represent this as x)

Thus, apply TOA:

Tan 36 = Opp/Adj

Tan 36 = x/4

4*Tan 36 = x

x ≈ 2.9 in (nearest tenth)

Side length = 2*x = 2*2.9 = 5.8 in

✔️Perimeter = 5*side length

Perimeter = 5*5.8 = 29 in

✔️Area = ½aP

Where,

a = 4 in

P = 29

Plug in the values

A = ½*4*29

A = 58 in²
