There is 283 5/8 gal of liquid fertilizer in a fertilizer application tank. After applying 178 2/3 gal to a soybean
field, the farmer requests that a local farm supply company deliver an additional 250 gal to the tank. How many gallons of fertilizer are in the tank after the delivery?

option a is correct.

step-by-step explanation:

scale factor: it is used to find proportional measurements.

proportions means having the same ratio.

scale factor is the ratio of the model measurement to the actual measurement in a simplest form.

or we can say that the ratio of any two corresponding lengths in two similar geometric figures

if the scale factor is more than 1, then it is an enlargement,

if the scale factor less than 1, then it is a reduction.

given the two geometric figure:

by definition of proportions, we have

we can't see all full 4 options, but if this is the full option, than the very left one is correct:

-2/5 * -3 3/4

remake the question, adding a picture of all the question, or write down the full left and right answers.
