Question

In order to fill his fish tank to capacity Jamal needs to put 25 gallons of water into the tank. If Jamal has 12.5% of the tank filled with water, how much more water does he need to put into the tank?

Answer 1

`21(7)/(8)`

Explanation:

`12.5\% = (1)/(8)`

`25 * (1)/(8) = (25)/(8) = 3 (1)/(8)`

`25 - 3 (1)/(8) = 24 (8)/(8) - 3 (1)/(8) =21(7)/(8)`
