Answer:
56 gallons
Step-by-step explanation:
When her gas tank is full, she has x gallons in the tank.
when she went to the gas station, she had (5/8) of x gallons of gas in her tank. she added 21 gallons into her tank, then she had x gallons in her tank.
(5/8)x + 21 = x
subtract x and 21 from both sides
(5/8)x - x = -21
factor out an x from the left side
x(5/8 - 1) = -21
simplify the parenthesis
x(-3/8) = -21
multiply both sides by -8/3
x= 56 gallons
The first one = 60.3 so it can’t be that one.
the second one = 34.5 so not that one either
the third one = 60.3
and the last one = 28.3
Sorry if I'm wrong - This is how I learned to subtract fractions in the 7th grade
First, I would line up the fractions side-by-side:
5/6 1/8
Then, my teacher would tell me to look at the numerators and subtract those - The answer would be 4
Next, she would say to do the same to the denominators - The answer is 2
4/2 is your answer I believe
Hope this helped! :)
