Question

A tank that is 40% full contains 650 gallons of water. On a side sheet of paper, use a double number line to find the maximum capacity of the water tank What did you get?

Answer 1

40% = 650 gallons

100% = x

therefore

`\begin{gathered} 40* x=100*650 \\ 40x=65000 \\ (40x)/(40)=(65000)/(40) \\ x=1625 \end{gathered}`

answer: the tank's max capacity is 1625 gallons.
