Given
Tank currently filled = 1/3
gallons added in order to fill the tank = 16
Find
Number of gallons needed to fill the tank.
Explanation
Let number of gallons need to fill the tank = x
currently filled with gallons = 1/3x
added to fill = 16
according to the question
[tex]\begin{gathered} x=\frac{1}{3}x+16 \\ x-\frac{1}{3}x=16 \\ \frac{2x}{3}=16 \\ x=24 \end{gathered}[/tex]Final Answer
Therefore , the 24 gallons the tank hold when it is full.
