Question

two thirds of a tank can be filled in 17 1/3 minutes. how many minutes will be required to fill the whole tank?

​

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Let’s say “x” time required to fill entire tank.

Use proportionality: 18 minures is to total time “x” as 2/3 is to the whole tank, or 1.

Written: 18/x = 2/3 (divided by 1)

Rearrange: x = 18 / 2/3, which is also 18x3/2

So x = 54 / 2 = 27

X = 27

Takes 27 minutes to fill entire tank.

Answer 2

Answer:

Let’s say “x” time required to fill entire tank.

Use proportionality: 18 minures is to total time “x” as 2/3 is to the whole tank, or 1.

Written: 18/x = 2/3 (divided by 1)

Rearrange: x = 18 / 2/3, which is also 18x3/2

So x = 54 / 2 = 27

X = 27

Takes 27 minutes to fill entire tank
