X=number of gallons that she must order.
4 gallons-----------------3 weeks
(7 gallons + x)--------12 weeks
We solve this rule of 3.
(7 gallons +x)3 weeks=4 gallons*12 weeks
21 gallons weeks+3 x weeks=48 gallons weeks
3x weeks=48 gallons weeks - 21 gallons weeks
3x weeks=27 gallons weeks
x=(27 gallons weeks) / 3 weeks=9 gallons.
Solution: she must order 9 gallons more.
Hi!
In my opinion, the easiest way to solve a problem like this is to find the greatest common factor (GCF) of the numerator and denominator and then divide both numbers by the GCF.
So first we need to find the factors of 45 and 72 and find the factor that has the most value that the two numbers both have.
45: 1, 3, 5, 9, 15, and 45
72: 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 9, 12, 18, 24, 36, 72
It looks like the GCF is 9. Now we have to divide 45 and 72 by 9.
45 ÷ 9 = 5
72 ÷ 9 = 8
So the correct answer should be:
Hope this helps :)
Answer:
Radius of large cylinder
Step-by-step explanation:
Volume of the larger tank is three times the volume of smaller tank
Volume of smaller tank
Volume of larger tank
Or it can also be written as
1/2 of 14 is 7. multiply 14/1 to 1/2.
