Estimating Circle the correct answer

1. Gas is $5.00 for 2 gallons and you want to fill your almost full gas tank which can hold an additional 1.5 gallons, you will spend a) $5.00 b) less than $5.00 c) more than $5.00​

Answer 1

To fill your almost full tank with additional 1.5 gallons, you will spend less than $5.00

According to the question;

2 gallons of gas cost $5.00

Recall that your tank is almost full and what you need is additional 1.5 gallons.

If;

2 gallons of gas cost $5.00

1.5 gallons cost 1.5 * 5.00/2 = $ 3.75

$ 3.75 is less than $5.00  hence the correct answer is option B: less than $5.00.
