we can convert acetone in to propane by reduction using Zn/Hg/HCl .This is known as Clemmensen's reduction.
CH3-CO-CH3 IN presence of that reagent the CO group convert in to CH2.then it become CH3-CH2-CH3.

Answer : By the Clemmenen reduction we can convert acetone into propane.
Explanation :
Clemmenen reduction :
The carbonyl compounds on reduction with zinc amalgam (Zn-Hg) in the presence of hydrochloric acid result in the formation of alkanes. In this reaction, the carbonyl group converted into group and result in the formation of alkanes.
The reaction are shown below.
