Estimate the difference 2.8/9 - 2. 7/1

A. 2

B. 1

C. 0

C. 0

because 2.8/9 <1

and 2.7>1

so 2.8/9 -2.7 <_ 0

use an equation of ratios to determine the amount of gas needed to fill the tank.

    0.2             0.8

  =    

288.75             x

                                                              231 gal

so, 0.2x = (0.8)(288.75 gal), and x = = 1155 gal.

                                                                0.2

it would take 1155 gal. to fill the tank.

the cost would be

1155 gal         $3

* = $3465   (answer)

      1           1 gal

hope this you
