Question

If you need to put 1 teaspoon in a 10 gallon tank how many teaspoons for a 8 gallon tank

Answer 1

`0.8\ teaspoon`

Explanation:

Let

x ----> the number of teaspoon

y ---> the number of gallons

we know that

`(x)/(y) =(1)/(10)` ---> equation A

For y=8 gal

substitute the value of y in the equation A

so

`(x)/(8) =(1)/(10)`

solve for x

`x=(1)/(10)(8)`

`x=0.8\ teaspoon`
