You used 3/8 of a tank of gas on a trip to the mountains and you used 1/6 of a tank of gas doing errands. You want to visit your friend who lives out of town. The trip requires 2/5 of a tank of gas. You say there is enough gas left for the trip. Is this reasonable?

Answer :

Answer:

Yes

Step-by-step explanation:

This is reasonable because if you do :

                                                 3/8 - 1/6=

                                   3x3 over 8x3 - 1x4 over 6x4 =

   

                                          9/24 - 4/24 =  9-4 over 24 =

                                                       5/24 and that is greater then 2/5.
