A 45-gal hot water tank holds 375 lb of water.

[tex]\begin{gathered} 45\text{ gal }\rightarrow375\text{ lb} \\ 55\text{ gal}\rightarrow x?\text{ lb} \end{gathered}[/tex]

To find the values of x,

[tex]\begin{gathered} \frac{45}{375}=\frac{55}{x} \\ 45x=55\cdot375 \\ 45x=20625 \\ x=458.33\text{ lb} \end{gathered}[/tex]
