Answer:

0.0128

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that: 1 gallon = 45 L

Then,

x gallons = 144 L

So that,

x gallons = [tex]\frac{144}{45}[/tex]

               = 3.2

i.e 3.2 gallons = 144 L.

The fraction of 250 gallons that is 144 L can be determined as;

The fraction = [tex]\frac{3.2}{250}[/tex]

                    = [tex]\frac{8}{625}[/tex]

                    = 0.0128

The fraction of 250 gallons that is 144 L is 0.0128.

Check: 250 gallons = 250 x 45

                                 = 11250 L

Fraction required = [tex]\frac{144}{11250}[/tex]

                             = 0.0128
