Answer: 14 gallons of gas.

Step-by-step explanation: For the fractions, find a common denominator, which would be 10. To get 1/5 to have a denominator of 10, multiply each number by 2. You would get 2/10. 7 gallons fills his tank from 2/10 to 7/10. Subtract the two fractions.

7/10 - 2/10 = 5/10.

7 gallons filled his tank half way. We are trying to find the amount to fill his tank all the way. So multiply 7 by 2.

7 x 2 = 14

14 gallons of gas will fill his tank all the way.

I hope this helps!

A city has 7204 recycle bins. The city gives half of the recycle bins to it's citizens. The rest of the recycle bins are divided

Tju [1.3M]

The number of recycle bins that the city gives to citizens:
7204 : 2= 3602
The number of recycle bins is left:
7204 - 3602= 3602
The largest number of bins that can be given in each group:
3602 : 23 = 156 (residual: 14)
=> There are 14 bins left over.
