Answer:

8 days.

Explanation:

To solve this, we will need to divide fractions to find the amount of days his fuel will last. Remember that when dividing fractions, you need to multiply by the reciprocal of the fraction.

We can do this by:


(4)/(5) * (10)/(1) = (40)/(5) = 8

Therefore, his gas will last 8 days.
