Answer 1

Answer:

Gallons of gas use for work and errands is 10.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Jack purchases 12 gallons of gas on Monday. He uses 2/3  of the amount purchased commuting to and from work during the week and an additional 2 gallons running errands.

So, to find the gallons of gas Jack use for work and errands:

Now, to get the amount of gas used to and from work during the week

$=\frac{2}{3}of12$

$=\frac{2}{3}\times 12$

$=\frac{24}{3}=8\ gallons$.

Additional 2 gallons of gas running errands.

Now, total gallons of gas use for work and errands = 8 gallons + 2 gallons

                                                                                     = 10 gallons.

Therefore, gallons of gas use for work and errands is 10.
