From the information provided, the dipping vat holds 52 gallons of liquid. Of this total content, 3/4 is made up of medicated flea solution.

The quantity of solution in the dipping vat therefore is;

$\begin{gathered} \text{Total content}=52\text{ gallons} \\ \text{Solution}=\frac{3}{4}\text{ of content} \\ \text{Therefore, } \\ \text{Solution}=\frac{3}{4}\times52 \\ \text{Solution}=\frac{3\times52}{4} \\ \text{Solution}=39\text{ gallons} \end{gathered}$
