Sofia · Answer 1

2 1/4 gallons

Step-by-step explanation:

We assume your problem is intended to say there are five tanks, each having a volume of 1/2 gallon, and that 4.5 of these have been filled so far.

The volume of water used is ...

(4.5 tanks) (0.5 gal/tank) = 2.25 gal

2.25 gallons of water have been used.
