b. How much water was originally in the tank?

The tank originally held ____ gallons of water.

c. How much water is in the tank when it is 1/2 full?

The tank holds ______ gallons of water when it is 1/2 full.

Answer 1

18 = 1/8 maybe?

Answer 2

if so then (6/8) t = (1/8) t + 42
5/8 t = 42
t = 67.2 gallons full

(1/8 ) t = 8.4 gal when 1/8 full

t/2 = 33.6 gal half full
