Answer 1

I see that someone has already answered 1-4 so i will answer 5

so for 2 gallons it is 35.75 so to find out the amount for 4 gallons you would add 35.75+35.75 to get your answer of 71.5

hope this helped :>

Answer 2

For the first problem, it would be 2.25 grams.

For the second problem, it would be 10.45 pounds.

For the third problem, it would be 13.3735 more grams of flour

For the fourth problem it would be 6.25 inches long.

Explanation:

1st problem:

3 - 0.75 = 2.25

2nd problem:

5.75 / .55 = 10.45454545 (so if we simplified it, then it would be 10.45)

3rd problem:

15.285 * 7/8 = 13.3735

4th problem:

31.25 / 5 = 6.25
