Answer:

(5/24) gallons of gas to mow the side yard

Step-by-step explanation:

We can easily solve this proble by applying a rule of three

5/16 gallons of gas --------------------------------- for 1 backyard

x gallons of gas ------------------------------------- 2/3 backyard

x = ((2/3)/1)*(5/16) gallons of gas

x = ((2/3))*(5/16) gallons of gas

x = ((10/48) gallons of gas

x = (5/24) gallons of gas
