Answer:
0.0128
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that: 1 gallon = 45 L
Then,
x gallons = 144 L
So that,
x gallons = [tex]\frac{144}{45}[/tex]
= 3.2
i.e 3.2 gallons = 144 L.
The fraction of 250 gallons that is 144 L can be determined as;
The fraction = [tex]\frac{3.2}{250}[/tex]
= [tex]\frac{8}{625}[/tex]
= 0.0128
The fraction of 250 gallons that is 144 L is 0.0128.
Check: 250 gallons = 250 x 45
= 11250 L
Fraction required = [tex]\frac{144}{11250}[/tex]
= 0.0128
