Solving Proportions N-Gen Math 7

Let g be the number of gallons of water in a tank. If a tank holds 1,028 pounds of water, how many gallos would there be? Set up and solve a Proportion. Round to the nearest gallon.

Answer 1

There would be approximately 0 gallons of water in the tank.

Step-by-step explanation:

First, set up a proportion:

1 gallon/1028 pounds = x gallons/1 pound

Next, cross multiply to solve for x:

1 * 1 pound = 1028 * x gallons

Simplify:

x gallons = 1/1028 pound

Now, round to the nearest gallon:

x gallons ≈ 0.001 gallons ≈ 0 gallons

Therefore, there would be approximately 0 gallons of water in the tank.
