Question

A water tank is 5/8 full. When 6 gallons of water are removed, the tank is 1/4 full. What is the total capacity of the tank in gallon?

Answer 1

Answer:

16 gallon

explanation:

5/8 - 3/8 = 2/8

2/8 = 1/4

therefore 6 gallons of water makes up 3/8 of the tank

12 gallons of water will make 6/8 of the tank

using common sense it is understood that 1/8= 2gallons

8*2gallons of water = 16 gallons of water
