Question: 249
10. A tank of oil is one-third full. When full, the tank holds 90 gallons. How many gallons of oil are in the tank now?
- A. 10
- B. 20
- C. 30
- D. 40
Correct Answer: C
Explanation:
C Since the question asks for a specific value, use PITA to answer the question, starting with (C). The choices represent the amount of oil in the tank now, which is one-third of the total amount. Choice (C) is 30: is 30 one-third of the total amount (90 gallons) the tank holds? 30 = (90) is true, so the correct answer is (C).
