Answer:

Option (b) is correct.

There are 7.25 pounds in 116 ounces.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : 1 pound equals 16 ounces.

We have to calculate the number of pounds in 116 ounces.

UNITARY METHOD is a method used to calculate the value of a single unit and then multiply it with the desired unit.

Since, given 16 ounces makes 1 pound

So, 1 ounces makes $\frac{1}{16}$ pounds

We have to find the number of pounds in 116 ounces.

So, 116 ounces makes $\frac{1}{16}\times 116$ pounds

Simplify, $\frac{1}{16}\times 116=7.25$

Thus, There are 7.25 pounds in 116 ounces.

Answer: 30 gallons

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number of gallons that are in a full tank be represented by x.

Since there are 6 gallons in a tank that is 20% full, this will be set up in an equation as:

20% × x = 6

20/100 × x = 6

0.2 × x = 6

0.2x = 6

x = 6/0.2

x = 30

There are 30 gallons in a full tank
