A. 13/15

B. 6 7/15

C. 8 2/5

D. 5 2/5

Answer Explanation:

we are asked to find the number of gallons a full tank holds. A full tank is treated as 1 whole.

Letting x be the number of gallons in full tank and setting the proportion equation with the number of gallons on the numerator and fraction of tank on denominator as follows.

Convert the mixed fraction into proper fraction and cross-multiply to find the value of x.

x 1 full tank=185 gallons23full tank

A full tank holds 27/5 gallons, which when converted to a mixed fraction is 5 2/5.

Q #1: A pharmaceutical company’s stock price was $45.32 on Monday. On Tuesday, the price went up $3.25. On Wednesday, the price decreased from Tuesday’s price by $1.73. On Thursday, the price went up $0.89 from Wednesday’s price. Which of the following was the final price on Thursday?

A. $46.84

B. $47.73

D. $48.57

Answer Explanation

we need to find the price of the stock on Thursday.

First, find the price changes in each day of the week as follows:

Monday’s price was $45.32

Tuesday’s price went up by $3.25 from Monday’s price. The price was $(45.32+3.25)=$48.57

Wednesday’s price decreased by $1.73 from Tuesday’s price, and so the price of the stock was $(48.57-1.73)=$46.84

Thursday’s price increased by $0.89 from Wednesday’s price, which was $(46.84+0.89)=$47.73

Therefore, the stock price on Thursday was $47.73.
