Algebra.Com's Answer #328876 by Maths68(1474)![]() ![]() You can put this solution on YOUR website! Let x is the required amount to add in 1/3 to make 1 gallon \n" ); document.write( "1/3+x=1 \n" ); document.write( "subtract 1/3 both sides of the equation \n" ); document.write( "(1/3-1/3)+x=1-1/3 \n" ); document.write( "x=1-1/3 \n" ); document.write( "taking LCM on right side \n" ); document.write( "x=(3-1)/3 \n" ); document.write( "x=2/3 gallon\r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "So we need to add 2/3 gallon to 1/3 gallon to make 1 gallon.\r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Check\r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "(1/3)+(2/3)=1 \n" ); document.write( "Taking LCM on left side\r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "(1+2)/3=1 \n" ); document.write( "3/3=1 \n" ); document.write( "1=1\r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "You have 1/3 gallon \n" ); document.write( " |
