Question

Jake drives on a highway with 60 litres of gas. Jake uses 4/5 of the gas getting home. How many litres of gas does Jake have when he's home?

Answer 1

Answer:

Jake have 12 litres of gas when he's home.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

• Jake drives on a highway with 60 litres of gas.
• Jake uses 4/5 of the gas getting home.

To find:

• How many litres of gas does Jake have when he's home?

Solution:

Total volume of gas = 60 litres

Then he uses 4/5 of the gas getting home that means we will subtract 4/5 of the gas from the total volume of gas when he drives on a highway.

= 60 - 4/5 × 60

= 60 - 4 × 12

= 60 - 48

= 12 litres
