Lin and Elena have discovered they have so much in common. They each have a fish tank holding 20 units of water. Whose tank holds 20 gallons, and whose holds 20 cups?

a. Lin's tank hold 20 cups and Elena's tank hold 20 gallons; I know this because gallons are greater than cups.

Step-by-step explanation:

Gallons are greater than cups so the fish tank that will hold 20 gallons would have to be the bigger one which in this case is Elena's.

With cups being lesser in quantity than gallons, the fish tank that will hold 20 cups of water will definitely have to be the smaller one which in the case is Lina's.

b. y = 4x - 2

step-by-step explanation:

to find a parallel equation to an equation, make sure both equations have the same slope but different y-intercepts.

y = 4x + 1

4 = slope

1 = y-intercept

y = 4x - 2

4 = slope

-2 = y-intercept

they both have the same slope but different y-intercepts, so, b. is the correct answer.

and to check your work, you can graph both equations. : )
