Question

This morning, Maria's car had 16.03 gallons of fuel. Now, 2.9 gallons are left. How much fuel did Maria use?

Answer 1

Maria used 13.13 gallons of gas, because the 16.03 gallons she started with minus the 2.9 gallons she had left equals 13.13 gallons. You can check by adding 2.9+13.13 to equal the 16.03 she started with.

Answer 2

take 16.03 and subtract 2.9

16.03-2.9=13.13

so maria used 13.13 gallons
