Answer 1

Answer: He can mow 4 lawns before he needs to buy more gasoline.

Explanation:

Hi, to answer this question we have to analyze the information given:

• Gallons of gasoline available: 2/3
• Gallons of gasoline used for mow a lawn: 1/6

So, to find the number of lawn that he can mow, we have to divide the gasoline available (2/3) by the amount used for mow a single lawn (1/6)

Mathematically speaking:

2/3 ÷1/6 = (2x6) / (3x1) = 12/3=4

He can mow 4 lawns before he needs to buy more gasoline.
