Question

2 2/5 gallons used 1/3 to mow the lawn. How much gas does he have left?

Answer 1

If he used 1/3, then he has 2/3 left.

What is 2/3 of 2 and 2/5? Easier to do this calculation if you convert 2 and 2/5 to an improper fraction. Hopefully you know how to convert from mixed number to improper fraction (in this case 12/5).

What is 2/3 times 12/5?
