You can put this solution on YOUR website! A small air plane used 5 and 2 thirds gallons of fuel to fly a 2 hour trip. How many gallons were used each hour
----------------
To find gallons per hour, divide the gallons by the hours.
You can put this solution on YOUR website! That would be 1/2 of the fuel consumed in 2 hrs
Take half of 5 which is 2 and 1/2
Take half of 2/3 which is 1/3
---------------------------
Add 2 + 1/2 + 1/3
-----------------
1/2 = 3/6
1/3 = 2/6
3/6 + 2/6 = 5/6
---------------
2 and 5/6 gallons are consumed each hour
