Question

if your water tank is 1/6 full, and in 10 gallons the tank will be full, how many gallons does it hold

Answer 1

Explanation:

Let the total capacity be x.

If the tank is 1/6 full, it means that 5/6 is empty.

It is also given that the tank will be full by filling 10 gallons, meaning

$\frac{5}{6} x = 10$

$x = 10 \times \frac{6}{5}$

$x = 2 \times 6 = 12$

Hence, the tank can hold 12 gallons of water.

Answer: 12 gallons
