(b) The fuel tank holds 48 litres when it is full. How many Litres must be added to fill the tank?

Answered by maham237 @



Answer:

Part a) \frac{3}{8}

Part b) 30\ liters

Step-by-step explanation:

Part a) What fraction does the Gauge show?

we know that

Each division in the Fuel gauge represent the fraction \frac{1}{16}

so

To find what fraction the gauge shows multiply 6 by \frac{1}{16}

6*\frac{1}{16}=\frac{6}{16}=\frac{3}{8}

Part b) The fuel tank holds 48 litres when it is full. How many Litres must be added to fill the tank?

we know that

The tank has \frac{3}{8} of its total capacity

so

To fill the tank must be added 1-\frac{3}{8}=\frac{5}{8}

therefore

Multiply \frac{5}{8} by 48\ liters

48*\frac{5}{8}=30\ liters
