Question

A fish tank is half full with water. The tank has more than 12 gallons of water in it.

Answer 1

The inequality that represents this situation is $\frac{g}{2}> 12$ . The simplest form of the inequality is   $g> 24$ i.e. Fish tank has more than 24 gallons of water .

Step-by-step explanation:

Here we have , A fish tank is half full with water. The tank has more than 12 gallons of water in it.  the fish tank has a total capacity of g gallons . We need to find  inequality that represents this . Let's find out:

It's given that fish tank has a total capacity of g gallons , and it's half full of water i.e. total water is $\frac{g}{2}$ gallons . According to question , The tank has more than 12 gallons of water in it i.e.

⇒ $water > 12$

⇒ $\frac{g}{2}> 12$

⇒ $\frac{g(2)}{2}> 12(2)$

⇒ $g> 12(2)$

⇒ $g> 24$

Therefore, The simplest form of the inequality is $g> 24$ i.e. Fish tank has more than 24 gallons of water .
