Answer:

The mass of gasoline in a full tank will be equal to the density of gasoline times the volume of the tank (which is the capacity of the tank)

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's call d the density of gasoline, v the volume of the tank (which is the capacity of the tank), and m the total mass of gasoline in a full tank.

The density of a fluid is equal to its mass divided by the volume occupied, then:


d=(m)/(v)\\m=d*v\\mass=density*volume

So, the mass of gasoline in a full tank will be equal to the density of gasoline times the volume of the tank (which is the capacity of the tank)
