Ty's fish tank is 1/3 full of water. If he adds another 4 gallons of water, it will be completely full. How many gallons would Ty need to add to make the tank 75% full? (PLEASE SHOW STEPS!)

1/3 = ?
2/3 = 4 gallons
so 1/3 = 2 gallons
1 = 6 gallons
75% = 3/4
6 gallons : 4 = 1.5
1,5 x 3 = 4.5
4.5 = the answer
