Answer 1

27 found this answer in ohio

Explanation:

We want to multiply the following 2 fractions:

3

4

x

36

1

Multiplying 2 fractions involves multiplying both numerators divided by both denominators.

Numerator 1 x Numerator 2

Denominator 1 x Denominator 2

In this case, Numerator 1 = 3, Denominator 1 = 4, Numerator 2 = 36, Denominator 2 = 1, so we have:

3 x 36

4 x 1

108

4

Now that we have our preliminary answer, we need to reduce it down as much as possible.

From our GCF Calculator, we see that the highest number that reduces 108 and 4 down to an integer is 4.

This number, 4, is called our Greatest Common Factor (GCF), and will be used to reduce both numerator and denominator as seen below.

Reducing the numerator gives us: (1/4) x 108 = 27

Reducing the denominator gives us: (1/4) x 4 = 1

Our answer is just the reduced numerator divided by the reduced denominator.

Since our reduced answer is a whole number, we remove the one from the denominator and write it as:

Answer = 27

Answer 2

Answer: 48 gallons

Explanation:

We can create a proportion with the given information to solve. Three-fourths is equal to 0.75, and when the tank is full it will be 4/4 the way filled (which is equal to 1).

Given:

`\displaystyle \frac{36\text{ gallons}}{0.75} =\frac{x\text{ gallons}}{1}`

Divide both sides of the equation:

48 = x

The tank will hold 48 gallons when full.
