    3/4 - 1/3 = 9/12 - 4/12 = 5/12

    (5/12) / 10 = 1 / x

    5/12x = 10

    x = 10 * 12/5

    x = 120/5 = 24 gallons ... so when full, the tank holds 24 gallons

    so if it is already 3/4 full, then u just need 1/4 to fill

    1/4 (24) = 24/4 = 6 ... so u would need 6 more gallons to fill the tank up to full capacity.
