Question

You used 3/8 of a tank of gas on a trip to the mountains and you used 1/6 of a tank of gas doing errands. You want to visit your friend who lives out of town. The trip requires 2/5 of a tank of gas. You say there is enough gas left for the trip. Is this reasonable?

Answer 1

yes it is reasonable

Explanation:

Answer 2

Yes

Explanation:

This is reasonable because if you do :

3/8 - 1/6=

3x3 over 8x3 - 1x4 over 6x4 =

9/24 - 4/24 = 9-4 over 24 =

5/24 and that is greater then 2/5.
