Answer:
The tank would hold 40 gallons of water when full.
Step-by-step explanation:
The tank is already 3/4 full of water
If Henry added 5 gallons, it will be 7/8 full.
Therefore the fraction added by Henry =7/8-3/4=1/8
It means that 1/8 of the total=5 gallons of water
Let the total capacity of the tank=x
[tex]\frac{1}{8}Xx=5 gallons\\ x=8X5=40 gallons[/tex]
The tank would hold 40 gallons of water when full.
