Question

Susan used 1/2 gallons of gas on Sunday and 3 5/8 gallons of gas on Monday. How many more gallons of gas did she use on Monday?

Answer 1

Answer: 3 and 1/8 more

Step-by-step explanation:

You can start by converting to the same fraction and making the second one improper, so 29/8 and 4/8. Subtract them to find the difference and you are left with 25/8 or 3 1/8 gallons.
