First we have to find how much water leaked
5galllons-3 gallons=2 galllos of water leaked
Now we know

Finally we can simplify it

- its the answer
Answer:
16 + -16 -4 ( 20 ) - 6)
Step-by-step explanation:
here is answer
You don't define the ratio, so there are two answers:
If 2/3 is boys to girls, then,
2/3 = 24/x
x = 36 girls
If 2/3 is girls to boys, then,
2/3 = x/24
x = 16 girls
-5/16
Our choices:-
A.-3/8
B.-11/12
C.-1/4
<span> D.-1/8
</span>
Let us get all of them with a LCD
-1*2 = -2
8*2 = 16
-2/16 is not bigger than -5/16
-11/12 is bigger than -5/16 because half of 16 is 8.
-1*4 = -4
4*4= 16
-4/16 is not bigger than -5/16
-1/8 is smaller than -5/16
Final answer: -11/12 is the only fraction bigger than -5/16
Each 1/8 is 0.125, so 7*0.125 in relation to 7/8 as a decimal is 0.875. Answer C.
