Question

The gas tank in felizs car is 5/6 full each time he drives to or from work he uses 1/12 of a full tank of gas which equation represent the number of times feliz can drive to or from work with the gas in his tank

Answer 1

Answer:

$\frac{1}{12}x = \frac{5}{6}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

• Volume of fuel = 5/6
• Volume of fuel used each time = 1/12
• Number of travels to or from work = x

Since each time 1/12 of the tank is used, and initial volume is 5/6 of the tank, the equation will be:

• $\frac{1}{12}x = \frac{5}{6}$

Solving the equation we get:

• x = $\frac{5}{6}$÷$\frac{1}{12}$
• x = $\frac{5}{6}$ × 12
• x = 10

So Felitz can travel 10 times to/from work with 5/6 full tank
