What is 5 percent of 5 gallons?

Answer 1

5 x 5% = on your calculator gives you 0.25 so it's 1/4 gallon or 1 quart

Think about this, 10% of 5 is 0.50 and then cut that in half again to give you 5% so it's 0.25.

You can also do a proportion. 5 gallons = ? gallon/ 100 % = 5%

- Sorry don't know how to draw a fraction bar here

Anyhow, I do a horizontal number 8 or the infiniti sign to do my proportions math- Just like a number eight race track for race cars.

Start line/ Finish line-

I want to finish where the question mark is so I start under it. I first multiply, 5 x 5 and like a race car driver go around the curve towards the 100 and divide. Then drive up to question mark which is you Finish line with the Answer. 0.25

I use this method when comparing anything.

If all fails, think in terms of MONEY! That helps.....
