Answer:

7.5 gallons

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

The Thomas family went for a Sunday drive.

Before they left, Mr. Thomas noticed the gas tank was ¾ full.

When they returned home the gas tank was ⅓ full.

Total capacity of the gas tank = 18 gallons

<u>Question asked:</u>

How many gallons of gas did the car use on the drive?

<u>Solu</u>tion:

Before they left, quantity of gas in the tank = \frac{3}{4} \times18=\frac{54}{4} =13.5\ gallons

When they returned, quantity of gas in the tank = \frac{1}{3} \times18=\frac{18}{3} =6\ gallons

Quantity of gas used on the drive = 13.5 - 6 = 7.5 gallons

Therefore, 7.5 gallons of gas used on the drive by Thomas family.
