The answer would be B. 5.32 gallons. Explanation: You start by subtracting the first number (1.08) from Manny’s starting gas amount. After doing that, you get 5.92. Than, you need to subtract that second amount from the 5.92. To do this, you divide the fraction (so 3/5 would become three divided by five). After dividing the fraction, it comes out to be 0.6, so than you subtract 0.6 from the 5.92, giving you 5.32. That is your final answer.
