12 gallons of water fill a tank to 3/4 capicity. What is the capicity of the tank? If the tank is then filled to capicity, how many half-gallons bottles can be filled with the water in the tank?

Answers

Answer 1
Answer:

Answer:

The total capacity of the tank  = 16 gallons

32 bottles can be filled with the water in the tank.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the total capacity of the tank = K gallons

Now here, according to the question

3/4 capacity  of the tank = 12 gallons

⇒(3)/(4)  * K = 12\norK = 12 * (4)/(3)

or, K = 16 Gallons

So, the total capacity of the tank is 16 gallons.

Now, capacity of 1 bottle =  0.5 gallon= (1/2) gallon

So, number of bottles filled = Capacity of each bottle x Total capacity of tank

n = 0.5 gallon x 16 gallons = 32 bottles

Hence, 32 bottles can be filled with the water in the tank.

Write a fraction that is between 0.1 and 1/5, has a whole-number numerator, and has a denominator of 100. Then express an equivalent decimal form and for this fractionHELP ME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Answers

Ok, so in other words, the decimal 0.1, is also known as 1/10. Because it is 1 tenth of one hundred, for the decimal place value. So, then you would want to multiply the 1/5 by 2, the top and bottom, numerator and denominator, by 2 to get it equal, or like terms, with 1/10. You would get 2/10. So, you are now looking for a number in between 1 and 2 with a denominator, or bottom number, of 100. To find that number, you will want to multiply the fractions, 1/10 and 2/10 by 10 get the denominator to 100. So, 1 times 10 is 10, and 10 times 10 is 100. So, you will end up with 10/100 for the first fraction and 20/100 for the second fraction. Then, you can make a fraction that has a whole number that is in between 10 and 20. I would pick 12, and then transfer that over to a decimal. So, it would become 0.12, since it is 12 percent, or 12 parts, of 100.
