Question

A tank that is 40% funny contains 648 gallond of water. Use a double number line to find the maximum capacity of the water tank.

Answer 1

When the tank is full it will contain 100% of its capacity in water. We are told that 40% is 648 gallons so if we divide this by 40 (answer 16.2) and multiply by 100 (1620) we have the answer.

The maximum capacity of the tank is 1620 gallons.

Answer 2

1620 gallons

Explanation:

648/40 = 16.2/1

16.2 x 100 = 1620
