Type the correct answer in the box. Use numerals instead of words. If necessary, use / for the fraction bar. Royston is driving to a popular amusement park with his family. Royston’s car had 1515 gallons of gas at the start of the trip. During the trip, he stopped at a gas station and refueled the car with 535 gallons. If the car consumed 1745 gallons of gas during the trip, there are still gallons of gas remaining in the tank. 100 points

Answer: 3 gallons of gas left

Step-by-step explanation: since the car started out with 15 1/5 and then fills up 5 3/5 now there is 20 4/5 in the car then since the car consumed 17 4/5 just subtract the 17 4/5 from 20 4/5 and then you get 3 gallons left since 17 - 20 = 3 and 4/5 - 4/5 = 0/0 or 0 the answer is just 3 gallons left
