Question

Jamal filled his tank then used 7/16 of the tank for traveling to visit his grandfather. He then used 1/3 of the remaining gas to run errands around town. What fraction of the tank is filled with gasoline?

Answer 1

Answer:

3/8

Step-by-step explanation:

After 7/16 was used, he had 9/16 left.

1 - 7/16 = 16/16 - 7/16 = 9/16

After 1/3 of that was used, he had 3/8 left.

9/16 * 2/3 = 6/16 = 3/8
