Question

if Teresa used five and a third gallons of gas on Sunday and two and a quarter gallons of gas on Monday how many more gallons of gas did she use on Sunday

Answer 1

`\text{She used 5}(1)/(3)\text{ gallons of gas on Sunday}`
`\text{She used 2}(1)/(4)\text{ gallons of gas on Monday}`

Hence the difference is

`5(1)/(3)-2(1)/(4)=3(4-3)/(12)=3(1)/(12)`

Hence she used 3 1/12 more gallons of gas on Sunday
