Respuesta :
There are 4 quarts in a gallon so the amount used can be shown as 4 1/4, or 4.25 so to find out how much gas is left in the tank you simply subtract 4.25 from 20.
20-4.25
=15.75
There is 15.75, or 15 3/4, gallons of gasoline left in the tank.
20-4.25
=15.75
There is 15.75, or 15 3/4, gallons of gasoline left in the tank.
The correct answer is:
Total capacity of tank in quarts:
20 gallons = 20 × 4 = 80 quarts
Gasoline used in quarts:
4 gallons 1 quart = (4 × 4) + 1 = 17 quarts
Gasoline left in the tank in quarts:
80 − 17 = 63 quarts
Gasoline left in the tank in gallons and quarts:
63 quarts = 63 ÷ 4 = 15 remainder 3 = 15 gallons 3 quarts
