Algebra.Com's Answer #396429 by 55305(86)![]() ![]() ![]() You can put this solution on YOUR website! Lets start with what fraction of the tank he filled with gas. So 1/2-1/6= 3/6-1/6= 2/6= 1/3 So he bought 1/3 as many gallons as the tank holds, which is 7 gallons. So that means his tank must hold 21 gallons. \n" ); document.write( " |
