Answer:

2.45 gallons

Explanation:

1. Translate
16(7)/(8) into a whole number or decimal number: 14.

2. We know that Dr. Silvers filled her tank with 11.55 gallons of gas, so subtract 11.55 from 14.


14 - 11.55 = 2.45

3. There were 2.45 gallons of gas in Dr. Silvers gas tank before she filled it up.
