HELP ME WITH THIS EQUATION PLZ! 5/2 c = 8 1/3 *

Step-by-step explanation:

This is simple algebra. Let's look at the equation.

=

First of all, let's put this into better terms. I'm going to turn into something easier to understand.

= 25/3

That looks better. What we need to do now is to get by itself.

/ =

25/3  / = 10/3

=10/3

Simplified, 10/3 is equal to . So, =

a 10 percent increase

use an equation of ratios to determine the amount of gas needed to fill the tank.

    0.2             0.8

  =    

288.75             x

                                                              231 gal

so, 0.2x = (0.8)(288.75 gal), and x = = 1155 gal.

                                                                0.2

it would take 1155 gal. to fill the tank.

the cost would be

1155 gal         $3

* = $3465   (answer)

      1           1 gal

hope this you
