Exercise 34 Page 336

Start by drawing a bar diagram to represent the given situation.

Practice makes perfect

We are asked to find how many gallons of water there are in the pool. We know that the pool holds 660 000 gallons of water and is only 63 % full. Let's start by drawing a bar diagram to represent the given situation.

Now we can use the bar diagram to write two equivalent ratios. 63/100=x/660 000 Note that we got an equation that we can solve for x. To do so, we will use the Multiplication Property of Equality.

63/100=x/660 000

MultEqn

LHS * 660 000=RHS* 660 000

63/100* 660 000=x/660 000* 660 000

FracMultDenomToNumber

a/660 000* 660 000 = a

63/100* 660 000=x
