Reduce a ratio 3/4in: 3/16 ft

4in : 1ft

Step-by-step explanation:

We start with:

3/4 in = 3/16 ft

This means that the length of 3/4 inches is the same as the length of 3/16 feet.

To reduce this, we can start by dividing by 3 in both sides of the equation:

(3/4)/3 in = (3/16)/3 ft

1/4 in = 1/16 ft

Now we can multiply both sides by 16:

16/4 in = 16/16ft

4 in = 1ft

now we reduced the ratio to:

4in : 1ft

step-by-step explanation:

12: 00 p.m. to 7: 00 p.m. is a total of 7 hours.

4: 00 p.m. to 7: 00 p.m. is a total of 3 hours.

this means that from 4: 00 p.m to 7: 00 p.m. this represents 3/7 of what was lost from 12: 00 p.m. to 7: 00 p.m.

after knowing this, after doing 11,600 - 6,800 = 4,800

4,800 represents 3/7 of what was lost for 7 hours.

we then divide 4,800 by 3 which gets 1,600.

because we know that 1,600 represents 1/7 of how much water was lost, we just have to multiply by 7, which gets 11,200.   after adding 11,200 to how much water was left at 7: 00 p.m. which was 6,800. 11,200 + 6,800 = 18,000

this means that the pool originally had 18,000 gallons in the pool.

you can also check your work by doing 18,000 - 4(1600), which becomes           1800 - 6400 which gets you 11,600.
