Question

Number of Gallons 2 4 x

Number of Liters 7.6 15.2 30.4

The table above shows approximate conversions from gallons to liters. What is the value of x ?

Answer 1

The value of x is 8 gallon.

Explanation:

Given a table showing approximate conversion from gallons to liters.

Number of Gallons 2 4 x

Number of Liters 7.6 15.2 30.4

We are required to find value of x,

Given : 2 gallon is equal to 7.6 liters.

⇒ 1 liter is equal to
`(2)/(7.6)=0.263` liters. ........(1)

given, x gallon equal to 30.4 liters.

⇒ 1 liter is equal to
`(x)/(30.4)` liters. .........(2)

from (1) and (2),

⇒
`0.263=(x)/(30.4)`

Solving for x, we get,

⇒
`0.263 * 30.4=x`

⇒
`7.9952=x`

Approximately x = 8

Thus, the value of x is 8 gallon.
