a tank had 24 L of gasoline when it was 3/4 full.

Question

How much could it hold together?

Answer 1

Hi,

 

First you know that the tank can hold 24 L of gasoline when it is 3/4 full or 75% full.

 

What I do when I see a question like this is to calculate how much the tank would have if it was 1/4 full (or 1/x). Then I will multiply it by x.

 

So in this case. 24/3 = 8

then 8*4 (the denominator (x) is 4) = 32L

The tank holds 32L when full.
