Joe's gas tank is 1/4 full. after he buys 6 gallons of gas, it is 5/8 full. how many gallons can joe's tank hold?

Amount of gas that can be hold by Joe's tank = 16 gallons.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that Joe's gas tank is 1/4 full. After he buys 6 gallons of gas, it is 5/8 full. Now we need to find about how many gallons can Joe's tank hold.

So let's find change that happened after filling the gas.

Change = (5/8 full) - (1/4 full)

Change = (5/8 - 1/4)  full

Change = (5/8 - 2/8)  full

Change = (5 - 2)/8  full

Change = 3/8  full

So that means 3/8 full happens in 6 gallons

then 1 full will happen in 6/(3/8) gallons = 6*(8/3) gallons = 48/3 gallons = 16 gallons

So the amount of gas that can be hold by Joe's tank = 16 gallons.

"image"

step-by-step explanation:

in most of these problems, the notation is that the point with a "prime" is the image of the point without. that is, b' is the image of b.

here, there is no dilation or reflection. there is simply translation (with no direction shown). which figure you call the "preimage" and which one you call the "image" is up to you. as a matter of convention, the naming is as described above.
