A tank holds 1,000 gallons of syrup. Danielle filled 65 5-gallon cans with syrup. How much syrup was left in the tank when she finished?
65 times 5 is 325 then u take 1000 and minus 325 from it and end up with 675
Answer: There was 675 gallons left in the tank when she finished.
Step-by-step explanation:
Since we have given that
Total capacity of a tank = 1000 gallons of syrup
Number of cans with syrup filled by Danielle = 65
Number of gallon in each can = 5 gallons
Total number of gallons in 5 cans of syrup is given by
\(65\times 5\\\\=325\ gallons\)
so, Amount of syrup was left in the tank when she finished is given by
\(1000-325\\\\=675\ gallons\)
Hence, there was 675 gallons left in the tank when she finished.
