Tank a has a capacity of 9.5 galloons 6 1/3 gallons of the tanks water are poured out how many gallons of water are left in the tank

gallons are left in the tank.

To determine the total amount left in the tank = Total capacity of the tank – Total amount of water poured out in gallons

= 9.5 (also expressed as 95/10) – (otherwise expressed as )

Before solving further, we look for the lowest common denominator (LCD) of both denominators (10 and 3) since we are dealing with fractions.

Hence,

LCD of 10 and 3 = 30

Therefore,

= –  

= (95 x 3) – (19 x 10) / 30

= (285) – (190) / 30

= 285 – 190 / 30

=

=

= gallons  

Thus, the total amount of gallons of water left in the tank is gallons.

The above expression is a typical number problem which has an element of fraction in it. Fraction consists of numerator and denominators which are usually jointly factored out to derive a solution to a given math problem.

It is essential to apply BODMAS while solving a fraction problem like the one given. And notably, the arms of BODMAS that were applied are Division, Multiplication and Addition.
