f(x) + n - move the graph n units up
f(x) - n - move the graph n units down
n · f(x) - stretch by n in the y-direction
1/n · f(x) - compress by n in the y-direction

All it's asking is: How many cubic inches are there in 22 gallons ? And it already GAVE us the conversion factor !
The conversion factor is . . . . . 1 gallon = 231 cubic inches
Multiply each side by 22: 22 gallons = 22 x (231 cubic inches)
22 x 231 = 5,082
22 gallons = 5,082 cubic inches
If you empty a full 22-gallon tank out through that flow meter, the meter will register 5,082 cubic inches when the tank is empty.
sin = opposite/hypotenuse
sin 40° = 12/x
Cross multiply.
0.64278760968x = 12
Divide both sides by sin 40°.
x = 18.7 (rounded to nearest tenth).
The answer would be a total of 9 blue stripes.
