Question

a fish tank holds 12 3/5 gallons of water. the fish tank is filled 7/8 of the way. how much water is in the fish tank? show work!!

Answer 1

11.025 gallons of water

Explanation:

First, let's find out how much water the fish tank can hold when it's completely full:

12 3/5 gallons = 12 + 3/5 gallons

= 12 + 0.6 gallons

= 12.6 gallons

Now, we want to know how much water is in the fish tank when it's filled 7/8 of the way:

Amount of water in the tank = (7/8) * 12.6 gallons

= 0.875 * 12.6 gallons

= 11.025 gallons

So, there are 11.025 gallons of water in the fish tank when it's filled 7/8 of the way.
