Answer 5

well since you've been given the equation.. you can say that the quantity of gallons needed to fill the tank is x. Since 3/4 of the tank is full with 24 gallons you get 3/4x = 24

Answer 6

then the total of the tank is solving for x. x = 4/3 * 24

Answer 7

x = 32. you plug that into the equation and you get that 3/4 of the tank is full at 24 gallons if the tank can hold a total of 32 gallons.

Answer 8

let the total capacity of the tank be = x gallons
then 3/4 of x is 24

i.e. 3/4 *x = 24

=> x = (24*4)/3 = 96/3 = 32 gallons
so the tank can hold 32 gallons
