Question

What fraction of 300 gallons is 117 L? Give your answer in simplest form. 1 gallon = 4.5 L.

Answer 1

Use proportions to find the gallon equivalent of 117 L:

`(1gal)/(4.5L) =(Xgal)/(117L)`

Cross-multiply & solve:

`4.5x=117\\x=26`

So 117 L = 26 gallons

Out of 300 gallons, it's

`(26)/(300) =(2(13))/(2(150)) =(13)/(150)`

I hope this is how you're suppose to solve it..
