Question

1/13 In a pet store, 27 gallons of water are used to fill 5 fish tanks completely. If each tone holds

same amount of water, how many gallons will each tonk hold? How many gallons of water are used to
fill 2 fish tanks?

Answer 1

Each tank will hold 5.4 gallons of water.

2 full fish tanks would carry 10.8 gallons of water

Explanation:

Just multiply 27x5 for the first question

And 5.4x2 for the second question

Answer 2

Gallons in each tank= 5.4 G

Gallons in 2 fish tanks= 10.8 G

Explanation:

To find the gallons of water in each tank, divide 27 gallons by 5 fish tanks.

27/5= 5.4

To find the number of gallons to fill 2 fish tanks, multiply 5.4 (gallons in 1 tank) by 2 (2 tanks).

5.4*2= 10.8
