Answer:

Explanation:

Given that A tank holds 17 3/5 gallons after losing 36 2/3 gallons, 4 5/6 gallons,and 27 1/12 gallons in 3

Consecutive days. If at the beginning the tank was 20 3/4 gallons short of capacity.

Tank full capacity = loss for 3 days + holding of tank after losing + shortage of capacity

To add these first let us convert these into improper fractions, then take lcd to add

Full capacity =
(88)/(5) +(110)/(3) +(29)/(6) +(325)/(12) \\=(88)/(5) +(440+58+325)/(12) \\=(1056+4115)/(60) =
=86.183 gallons
