Answer 1

Answer: 1/4 full.

Step-by-step explanation:

The question is asking for how much gas will be left in the tank after 2/3 of the gas in the tank is used.

There is currently 3/4 of the tank remaining.

To find 2/3 of 3/4, you can multiply the fractions together.

Do this by multiplying both numerators and both denominators:

$\frac{2}{3} *\frac{3}{4} = \frac{2*3}{3*4} = \frac{6}{12}$

Then, subtract 6/12 from 3/4. You can do this by simplifying the first fraction to 2/4 (divide both the numerator and denominator by 3).

3/4 - 2/4 = 1/4

There will be 1/4 of the tank left.

Answer 2

Answer:

1/4

Step-by-step explanation:

We have 3/4 of a tank

We will use 2/3 of the  gas in the tank

See the diagram  That will leave us 1/4

Mathmatically

3/4*2/3 = 2/4 =1/2  this is the amount that is used

Subtract this from the amount in the tank

3/4 -1/2

3/4 -2/4 = 1/4

This is the amount that is left in the tank
