Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Given A motorist is pumping gas into his car at a rate of 5/12 of a gallon every 1/24 of a minute. At this rate, how many gallons of gas will he have pumped into his car in ½ of a minute.

• So according to the question we need to find gallons of gas to be pumped to the car in ½ a minute.
•       In 1/24 of a minute a motorist is pumping gas to his car at the rate of 5/12 of a gallon
•      Therefore in ½ a minute he will have pumped 5/12 x ½ / 1/24
•                                                                         = 5/12 x ½ x 24
•                                                                          = 5 gallons
