39.) Fiona bought a brand new Harley Davidson motorcycle. Since the weather was nice, she decided to go out for a ride with some of her friends. Before leaving town, she stopped to fill up her motorcycle with gas so that she had a full tank. If Fiona's motorcycle has a 4 gallon gas tank, and she only had to add 2 4/7 gallons, how much gas was in the tank before she filled up?​

Answer:

  • 1 3/7 gallons

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the amount of gas in the tank before filling was x.

We have:

  • x + 2 4/7 = 4
  • x = 4 - 2 4/7
  • x = 2 - 4/7
  • x = 1 3/7 gallons

let the amount of gas be x

[tex]\\ \sf\longmapsto x+2\dfrac{4}{7}=4[/tex]

[tex]\\ \sf\longmapsto x+\dfrac{18}{7}=4[/tex]

[tex]\\ \sf\longmapsto x=4-\dfrac{18}{7}[/tex]

[tex]\\ \sf\longmapsto x=\dfrac{28-18}{7}[/tex]

[tex]\\ \sf\longmapsto x=\dfrac{10}{7}[/tex]

[tex]\\ \sf\longmapsto x=1\dfrac{3}{7}[/tex]
