Question

Deshaun's gas tank is 1/4 full. After he buys 9 gallons of gas, it is 5/8 full. How many gallons can Deshaun's tank hold?

Answer 1

Explanation:

so what is the difference from 1/4 to 5/8 ? is the question

2/8=1/4

5/8-2/8 = 3/8

9 gallons of fuel fill 3/8 of the tank

since 3/8 is 9 gallons we can see that 1/8 will be 3 gallons or 9/3=3

then multiply 3 gallons by the 8 parts for the whole tank

3*8=24 gallons.

Than tank can hold 24 gallons
