Answer:
3 tanks
Explanation:
• The volume of liquid fertilizer concentrate Sam has = 2 1/4 gallons
,
• The number of volumes required to mix one tank = 3/4 gallon
In order to determine the number of tanks Sam can mix, carry out the division below:
[tex]2\frac{1}{4}\div\frac{3}{4}[/tex]
First, change the mixed fraction to an improper fraction:
[tex]=\frac{9}{4}\div\frac{3}{4}[/tex]
Next, multiply each of the numbers by 4/3.
[tex]\begin{gathered} =\left(\frac{9}{4}\times\frac{4}{3}\right)\div\left(\frac{3}{4}\times\frac{4}{3}\right) \\ =\frac{9}{3} \\ =3 \end{gathered}[/tex]
Sam can mix 3 tankfuls.
