What is 2/3 of 2 7/8 gallons

Answer 1

2 7/8 = (8x2 +7)/8 = (16+7)/8 = 23/8

multiply numerators together 2x23, multiply denominators together, 3x8

2/3 x 23/8 = (2x23)/(3x8) = 46/24

divide numerator and denominator by 2

(46/2)/(24/2)

= 23/12

= (12+11)/12

= 12/12 + 11/12

= 1 + 11/12

= 1 11/12 galllons

That's the answer you want, 1 11/12, or in improper fractional form, 23/12 gal.

or

2 7/8 = 2.875

2/3 = .666...

.666... x 2.875 = 1.91666... = 1 11/12

11/12 = .91666....

1 + .91666...

=1.91666...= 1 + 11/12 = 1 11/12

the rest of this is just minutia on units of mearuing volumes

11/12 gallon = 4 x 11/12 = 11/3 = 3 2/3 quarts

1 11/12 gallons = 1 gallon and 3 2/3 quarts

2/3 = 4/3 pints

1 11/12 gallons = 1 gallon, 3 quarts and 1 1/3 pints

1/3 pint = 2/3 cup

1 11/12 gallons = 1 gallon, 3 quarts, 1 pint and 2/3 cup

2/3 = 16 x 2/3 = 32/3 = 10 2/3 table spoons

1 11/12 gallons = 1 gallon, 3 quarts, 1 pint and 10 2/3 table spoons

2/3 x 3 = 2

1 11/12 gallons = 1 gallon, 3 quarts, 1 pint, 10 table spoons and 2 teaspoons

1 US gallon = 3.785412 Liters

1 11/12 gallons = 23/12 x 3.785412 = 7.255373 Liters

UK gallons have a different volume

1 UK imperial gallon = 1.20095 US liquid gallons

1 UK gallon = 1.20095 x 3.785412 = 4.54609 Litres (UK spells "Liter" as "Litre")

1 11/12 UK gallons = 23/12 x 4.54609 = 8.713339167 Litres

1 11/12 UK gallons =
