Question

A water tank in the shape of a cylinder contains 54,000 gallons of water. 60% filled If the tank is only 60% filled, how many gallons of water can the tank hold? Enter the correct answer in the box.​

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation: capacity is 60% = 54000

Determine what is missing = 90000

Answer 2

90000 gallons

Explanation:

Given

`Capacity\ at\ 60\% = 540000`

Required

Determine the full capacity

Let the maximum number of gallons be m.

So, we have:

`60\% * m = 54000`

Convert % to decimal

`0.60 * m = 54000`

Divide both sides by 0.60

`m = (54000)/(0.60)`

`m = 90000`

Hence, the maximum number of gallons it can hold is 90000 gallons
