You cannot round 23 to the nearest thousand.
There are only TWO PLACE VALUES in 23: ones and tens.
Amount of fuel in the tank before the story begins . . . . . zero.
Total amount poured in . . . . . 3/4 gallon.
Total amount burned:
on Friday . . . . . 1/4 gallon
on Sunday . . . . 1/4 gallon
Total used . . 1/2 gallon .
Amount remaining in the tank on Monday:
(3/4 gallon in) - (1/2 gallon burned) = 1/4 gallon left.
==> NOT empty
The tank would have been empty on Monday IF Becky
had poured in only 1/2 gallon, instead of 3/4 of a gallon
before the first flakes began to fly.
Answer:
63
Step-by-step explanation:
the numbers are in ratio 7 : 9 = 7x : 9x ( x is a multiplier )
given the sum of the numbers = 112 , then
7x + 9x = 112 , that is
16x = 112 ( divide both sides by 16 )
x = 7 , then
9x = 9 × 7 = 63 ← value of larger number
