Question

Angelica started with half a tank of gas in her car, and she used 5/6 of that. Write an equation to show how much of a full tank she used.​

Answer 1

Explanation:

Angelica started her journey with half a tank of gas, equivalent to x/2. She used x/4 for half the distance, meaning she only covered half the distance of a full tank. She needs three full tanks for her destination, so she will have to stop for refills three times.

Explanation:

Answer 2

(1/2) x (5/6) = 5/12
