The best way to do this is to set up a proportion
30 20
---- = -----
0.5 x
then cross multiply and divide
20 × 0.5 = 10/30=1/3
he needs 1/3 tank of gas to drive 20 miles
I hope I've helped!
Yes he is correct. This is because if you convert all the fractions to be out of 10, the equation is 8/10 minus 5/10 equals 3/10 which is correct. if you have any more questions let me know. i hope this helps :)
