How can systems of equations be used to represent situations and solve problems?

To solve real world problems, we can use the relationship between the quantities and form equations which represent the situation given in the problem. Then, we can use these equations to solve the problems.

Step-by-step explanation:

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

72 is the answer to this problem
