When 10 gallons of gasoline are put into a car's tank, the indicator goes from 1/8 of a tank to 3/4. What is the total capacity of the gasoline tank?

16 gallons

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the the indicator goes from 1/8 of a tank to 3/4, we need to know the difference and this will be:

= 3/4 - 1/8

= 6/8 - 1/8

= 5/8

Therefore, 10 gallons represents 5/8 of the total capacity. Therefore, the total capacity will then be:

5/8 of x = 10

5x/8 = 10

5x = 10 × 8

5x = 80

x = 80/5

x = 16

Therefore, the total capacity is 16 gallons

i think it might be a but you might want a second opinion
