The tank for a car holds 24 24 gallons. The gasoline gauge shows the tank is 3 8 38 full. How much gas is still in the tank? Give your answer as a proper fraction, whole number, or mixed number reduced to lowest terms

Answer 1

Answer : The amount gas still in the tank is, 9 gallons

Explanation : Given,

Volume of tank of a car = 24 gallons

Total gasoline gauge shows the tank is 3/8 full.

Now we have to calculate the amount gas still in the tank.

The amount gas still in the tank = $24\text{ gallons}\times frac{3}{8}$

The amount gas still in the tank = $9\text{ gallons}$

Thus, the amount gas still in the tank is, 9 gallons
