Solve the problem. Give the equation using x as the variable, and give the answer. The product of 8, and a number increased by 6, is 112. What is the number?

use an equation of ratios to determine the amount of gas needed to fill the tank.

    0.2             0.8

  =    

288.75             x

                                                              231 gal

so, 0.2x = (0.8)(288.75 gal), and x = = 1155 gal.

                                                                0.2

it would take 1155 gal. to fill the tank.

the cost would be

1155 gal         $3

* = $3465   (answer)

      1           1 gal

hope this you

8

step-by-step explanation:

just put √(2) * √(32) into a calculator. that will make the answer be 8.
