a full tank that holds 11.6 gallons of gasoline is using 1.45 gallons per hour. is the tank more than half full of gasoline after 3.5 hours? explain

Answer 1

1.45 gallons/hour x 3.5 hours = 5.075 gallons of gas used

Half of the tank would be 11.6/2 = 5.8 gallons

Since 5.075 < 5.8, half of the tank has NOT been used after 3.5 hours
