Answer:
41/35
Step-by-step explanation:
Simplify the following:
4/7 + 3/5
Put 4/7 + 3/5 over the common denominator 35. 4/7 + 3/5 = (5×4)/35 + (7×3)/35:
(5×4)/35 + (7×3)/35
5×4 = 20:
20/35 + (7×3)/35
7×3 = 21:
20/35 + 21/35
20/35 + 21/35 = (20 + 21)/35:
(20 + 21)/35

Answer: 41/35
His car gets 21 mpg (miles per gallon). With 1 gallon he can drive 21 miles. For example, with 10 gallons, he can drive 21 mpg * 10 gal = 210 miles.
He bought $19.50 worth of gas at $1.40 per gallon.
$19.50 / ($1.40/gal) = 13.93 gal
He already had 5 gal of gas in his tanks, so now he has
5 gal + 13.93 gal = 18.93 gal
With 18.93 gal, he can drive
18.93 gal * 21 mpg = 292.5 miles
The answer is negative, because the first number is negative.
