a small airplane used 5 2/3 gallons of fuel to fly a 2 hour trip. how many gallons were used each hour?

Respuesta :

you would make 5 2/3 into a mixed fraction,which is 17/3. then divide that by 2. Final answer: 2.83

Answer:

[tex]2\frac{5}{6}\text{ gallon }[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

The number of gallon of fuel used = [tex]5\frac{2}{3}[/tex] gallon,

Number of hours = 2 hours,

Thus, the number of gallon used in one hour

[tex]=\frac{\text{total gallon used}}{\text{Number of hours}}[/tex]

[tex]=\frac{5\frac{2}{3}}{2}[/tex]

[tex]=\frac{17/3}{2}[/tex]

[tex]=\frac{17}{6}[/tex]

= [tex]2\frac{5}{6}[/tex]
