Answer:

a. 16 gallons

b. 32

Explanation:

Let the full capacity of the tank is x gallons.

a. It is given that 12 gallons of water fill a tank to
(3)/(4) capacity.

Hence, we can write
(3x)/(4) = 12


x = (4 * 12)/(3) = 16 gallons.

b. If the tank is filled to capacity, then there will be 16 gallons of water, with which
(16)/((1)/(2) ) = 32 numbers of half-gallon bottles of be filled with water. (Answer)
