Question

The gas tank in Michael's car can hold 18.0 gallons. If the tank currently contains 5.5 gallons, what fraction of the tank is full?

Answer 1

In order to do this you need to know the equation Y=P% times X
You then put the info into the equation so P%= 5.5/18
P then is equal to P%=0.3056
Then you need to convert the decimal into a percent by moving the decimal between the 0 and the 5. Your answer is therefore 30.56% which you need to turn into a fraction. The proper fraction is 30 and 14/25 , the improper fraction is 764/25.

Answer 2

50/100= 1/2 hope that helped
