Question

The gas tank in felizs car is 5/6 full each time he drives to or from work he uses 1/12 of a full tank of gas which equation represent the number of times feliz can drive to or from work with the gas in his tank

Answer 1

`(1)/(12)x = (5)/(6)\\ \\`

Explanation:

Given:

• Volume of fuel = 5/6
• Volume of fuel used each time = 1/12
• Number of travels to or from work = x

Since each time 1/12 of the tank is used, and initial volume is 5/6 of the tank, the equation will be:

• 
  `(1)/(12)x = (5)/(6)\\ \\`

Solving the equation we get:

• x =
  `(5)/(6)`÷
  `(1)/(12)`
• x =
  `(5)/(6)` × 12
• x = 10

So Felitz can travel 10 times to/from work with 5/6 full tank
