Find a common denominator for the two fractions to be able to combine them.
Let's use 48.

Multiply both parts of 2/3 by 16, then multiply both parts of -1/16 by 3.
32/48 + -3/48

This is the same as subtracting the second fraction from the first, so let's write it like that.
(32-3)/48
29/48

Since 29 is a prime number, the fraction cannot be reduced, so that is the final answer.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Fuel tank contains 1 3/4 gallons of gasoline.

Casey adds 33 1/3 gallons of gasoline to the tank.

Now, to find the total gallons of gas the tank contain.

Converting the mixed fractions into improper.

Gallons of gasoline in fuel tank $=1\frac{3}{4}=\frac{7}{4}$ .

Gallons of gasoline Casey adds $=33\frac{1}{3} =\frac{100}{3}$ .

<u>According to question:</u>

By adding we get the total gallons of gasoline now tank contain:

$\frac{7}{4} +\frac{100}{3}$

$=\frac{7\times 3+100\times 4}{12}$

$=\frac{21+400}{12}$

$=\frac{421}{12}$

$=35\frac{1}{12}$

Therefore, the gallons of gas the tank contain now is 35 1/12.
