Question

A gardener uses a total of gallons of gasoline in one month. Of the total amount

of gasoline, was used in his lawn mowers. How many gallons of gasoline did the
gardener use his lawn mowers in one month?

Answer 1

D. 36.9

Step-by-step explanation:

The total amount of gallons the gardener typically uses in a month is 61.5 gallons. Since the gardener used 3/5 gallons, we know that 5/5 is 61.5 gallons. So you would have to divide 61.5 by 5 in order to get 1/5 of the gallons which would be 12.3. Then you have to multiply the 12.3 by 3 in order to get 3/5 of how much the gardener used which is 39.9 gallons. I hope this helped!

Answer 2

D. 36.9

Step-by-step explanation:

three-fifths of 61.5 is 36.9!
