Answer:
30 gallons
Step-by-step explanation:
Let c represent the capacity of the container in gallons.
2/5c +8 = 2/3c . . . . adding 8 gallons to 2/5 full gives 2/3 full
8 = (2/3-2/5)c = 4/15c . . . . subtract 2/5c
8(15/4) = c = 30 . . . . . . . . . multiply by 15/4
The container can hold 30 gallons.
Answer:
Casey is correct.
Step-by-step explanation:
Robert's 5 1/8 + 2 1/3 = 7 1/2 is wrong because if 5+2 = 7, I would have to change the denominator of both fractions so they are both the same. The denominator would have to be 24. That would make the fractions 3/24 and 8/24. If you added them together, it would not be able to simplify to 1/2.
Casey's -4 1/2 + 6 3/4 = 2 1/4 is correct because —4 - 6 = 2. In order to make the fractions have the same denominator, you would have to multiply -1/2 by 2 on both numerator and denominator wich would equal -2/4. Now add -2/4 and 1/4 and you get 1/4.
