Answer:

108.1 gallons of water, 54.05 gallons of water.

Explanation:

Four water tanks can hold water = 432.4 gallons

one tank can hold water = 432.4 ÷ 4 = 108.1 gallon

One tank can hold 108.1 gallons of water.

If a tank is half-full then how much water is in a tank

One tank, fully filled can hold water = 108.1 gallon

A tank that is half-full of water = 108.1 ×
(1)/(2) = 54.05 gallons

There is 54.05 gallons water in a tank if it is half-full.

on average one tank holds 108 gallons because 432.4 divided by 4 is 108.1. One half full tank would hold about 54 gallons (54.05 to be exact) because half of 108.1 gallons (a full tank) is 54.05 gallons.
