Nancy left a bin outside in her garden to collect rain water. She notices the 1/2 gallon fills 2/3 of the bin. Write and solve an equation to find the amount of water that will fill the entire bin. Show your work. Explain your answer in words.

3/4 gallon fils the complete bin.

Ok, so we know that 1/2 gallon of water, fills 2/3 of the bin.

We want to find the total amount of water that would fill the entire bin.

So we could write an equation like:

amount of water =  amount of the bin that it fills.

Then, using the above information, we have:

1/2 gal  = 2/3 of a bin

Now we want to get at 1 in the right side, this would mean "1 bin"

Then we multiply both sides by (3/2)

(3/2)*(1/2) gal = (3/2)*(2/3) of a bin

3/4 gal = 1 bin

From this, we can conclude that (3/4) gallons of water would fill the complete bin.

If you want to learn more about algebra, you can read:

x = 0,75 gallons      or       x  = 3/4   gallons      The volume of the bin

The volume of the bin is: In terms of a fraction

1  =  3/3      or any unitary fraction   5/5    7/7    9/9

We will take 3/3 since we have the information that 2/3 of the volume of the bin was filled with 2/3 of a gallon

If  2/3 of the volume of the bin was filled with 1/2 gallon then we make a rule of three according to:

If     0,5  gal.         fill    2/3 of the volume of the bin   then

          x   gal         fill     3/3  ( the volume of the bin)

solving

0,5 (gal) * 3/3    =   (2/3)*x       ( The equation)

0,5*3 = 2*x

x  =  (0,5*3)/2

x = 0,75 gallons      or       x  = 3/4   gallons

∠lno ≅ ∠lnm

∠oln ≅ ∠mln

step-by-step explanation:

given   that triangle lno is congruent to triangle lnm.

we have to fill up the blanks in the given question.

according to above order of congruency   kept in mind we can say that

∠lno ≅ ∠lnm

∠oln ≅ ∠mln

ln ≅ ln due to common in both.

hence, by sas congruency,

the side angle side rule   states that if two sides and the included angle of one triangle are congruent to another triangle, then these two triangles are congruent.
