  1. 96 x 3/8 = 288/8 = 36 inches = 3 feet.

    45 (this is the number you want, the storage size doesn't matter) x 4/5 = 36 gallons.


  2. www.mathshelp.com

  3. 1. 96 x 3/8 = 288/8 = 36 inches

    2. 4/5 x 45 = 180/5 = 36 gallons removed

  4. uhhh iiiiiii issssssss domb

  5. 36 inches

    36 gallons

  6. Answer to 1st one is 36 inch, and next is 36 gallons

  7. well the first one you multiply 96 times 3/8 which will = 288/8 which you divide to get 36

    and the second

    4/5 = x/45 cross multiply

    5x/5 = 180/5 now divide

    x=36

    r u like in 5th grade cause that took me 2 mins and im  a freshman

  8. Use your facts:

    There are: 96 metal disks

    They are: 3/8 of an inch thick

    What is thickness?

    96 x 3/8 = ?  

    Go with the facts:

    There is: 64 gal tank (this fact is not needed)

    there are: 45 gal in tank  (this fact is the quantity)

    There was: 4/5 sold

    What is 4/5 of 45 gal?

    Your turn good luck

  9. To solve these, multiply by the numerator and then divide by the denominator.

  10. 1. 96 x 3.8 = X inches

    2. 45/64 x 5/4 = answer

  11. 36, 36

  12. The first answer is 36" you see 3x96=288 so all the plates together are 288/8 of an inch since 1 inch is 8/8 you divide 288 by 8 and that gives you the amount of whole inches.

    4/5 of 45 gallons is 36 gallons, you see if you divide 45 by 5 that tells you what 1/5 of 45 is which is 9 then if you want to find what 4/5 is you simply multiply 9 times 4 which is 36.

    4/5 of 64 is 51.2 you try it and see if you come up with the same thing
