Answer:

1/4

Explanation:

We have 3/4 of a tank

We will use 2/3 of the gas in the tank

See the diagram That will leave us 1/4

Mathmatically

3/4*2/3 = 2/4 =1/2 this is the amount that is used

Subtract this from the amount in the tank

3/4 -1/2

3/4 -2/4 = 1/4

This is the amount that is left in the tank

Answer: 1/4 full.

Explanation:

The question is asking for how much gas will be left in the tank after 2/3 of the gas in the tank is used.

There is currently 3/4 of the tank remaining.

To find 2/3 of 3/4, you can multiply the fractions together.

Do this by multiplying both numerators and both denominators:


(2)/(3) *(3)/(4) = (2*3)/(3*4) = (6)/(12)

Then, subtract 6/12 from 3/4. You can do this by simplifying the first fraction to 2/4 (divide both the numerator and denominator by 3).

3/4 - 2/4 = 1/4

There will be 1/4 of the tank left.
