Answer: 16 gallons
Step-by-step explanation:
Since the the indicator goes from 1/8 of a tank to 3/4, we need to know the difference and this will be:
= 3/4 - 1/8
= 6/8 - 1/8
= 5/8
Therefore, 10 gallons represents 5/8 of the total capacity. Therefore, the total capacity will then be:
5/8 of x = 10
5x/8 = 10
5x = 10 × 8
5x = 80
x = 80/5
x = 16
Therefore, the total capacity is 16 gallons
