Answer:
The total capacity of the tank = 16 gallons
32 bottles can be filled with the water in the tank.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the total capacity of the tank = K gallons
Now here, according to the question
3/4 capacity of the tank = 12 gallons
⇒
or, K = 16 Gallons
So, the total capacity of the tank is 16 gallons.
Now, capacity of 1 bottle = 0.5 gallon= (1/2) gallon
So, number of bottles filled = Capacity of each bottle x Total capacity of tank
n = 0.5 gallon x 16 gallons = 32 bottles
Hence, 32 bottles can be filled with the water in the tank.
