Question

The gas tank in Feliz's 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 represents the number of times Feliz can drive to or from work with his gas tank? A) 5/6 ÷ 1/12 = 10 B) 1/12 ÷ 5/6 = 7 C) 1/12 ÷ 5/6 = 1/10 D) 5/6 ÷ 1/12 = 5/72

Answer 1

A 5/6 ÷ 1/12 = 10

Explanation:

Let the full tank be represented with 'Y'

Feliz's car is 5/6 full

Whenever he drives To and From work he uses 1/12 of the full tank gas.

That is 1/12 of y

Since the tank was 5/6 full before his journey to and from work, the number of time he can use the gas will be

5/6 ÷ 1/12

5/6×12/1

= 10

Feliz can drive to or from work with his gas tank 10 times.
