Question

Jason purchased 14 2/3 gallons of gas on Tuesday. He used 1/5 going to work and an additional 6 gallons on errands. How much gas did he use for work and errands

Answer 1

had amount x in gallons

For work
14 2/3 * 1/5 = (1/5) * 14 + (1/5) * 2/3 = 14/5 + 2/15 = 42/15 + 2/15 = 44/15
for errands
6
total = 44/15 + 6 = 44/15 + 90/15 = 134/15 gallons
