(a) how much potting soil he bought last week
(b) 28 = 2p + 4
(c) 28 = 2p + 4....subtract 4 from both sides
     28 - 4 = 2p...simplify
     24 = 2p...divide both sides by 2
     24/2 = p....simplify
     12 = p......12 solves the equation
(d) He bought 12 lbs of potting soil last week

alisha [4.7K]

Answer:

The fraction of the tank is filled with gasoline is \frac{3}{8}.

Step-by-step explanation:

Consider the provided information.

Jamal filled his gas tank and then use 7/16 of the tank for traveling to visit his grandfather.

After his first traveling the amount of gas left can be calculated as:

1-\frac{7}{16}

\frac{16-7}{16}

\frac{9}{16}

He then used 1/3 of the remaining gas in the tank to run around town.

That means he left with 2/3 of gas.

\frac{9}{16}\times \frac{2}{3}

\frac{3}{8}

Hence, the fraction of the tank is filled with gasoline is \frac{3}{8}.
