Answer:
For 7-3, Number 8 is 0.25. 9 is 0.001. 10 is 0.06253
Know this? Add apples to apples and oranges to oranges.
This problem becomes much easier if the fractions are converted to decimal fractions for comparison purposes:
<span>2⁄3 , 7⁄6 , 1⁄8 , 9⁄10
are approx equal to 0.67, 1.17, 0.125, 0.90
So, rearranging these numbers in increasing order, we get
0.125, 0.67, 0.90, 1.17.
We could go back to the originals: 1/8, 2/3, 9/10, 7/6.</span>
Josiah would need 10 gallons to travel 265 miles.
First we divide 79.5 by 3 to find out how many gallons are needed for one mile.
79.5/3=26.5
For one mile we need 26.5 gallons of gas.
Now we will divide 265 by 26.5 to find the answer to the problem.
265/26.5=10
Josiah will need 10 gallons of gas to travel 265 miles
