Question

A 500 gallon fish tank is 2/5 full. how much more water is needed to fill the fish tank

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

1st way:

• 2/5 of 500 gallons = 200 gallons
• 500 gallons total - 200 gallons full = 300 gallons of water

2nd way:

• 5/5 = 1 (a whole); 5/5 - 2/5 full  = 3/5 more water
• 3/5(500) = t
• 3/5 * 500 = 300 gallons of water
