Answer 7

if you have 10 dollars and go to the pump and it's 2.50 a gallon.....how many gallons can you get?

Answer 8

well if you started with 1/4 tank....how much will you have after your done pumping?

Answer 9

lets write it out in words
you spend $10 at $2.50 per gallon, so you have purchased 4 gallons of gasoline since 4 gallons times $2.50 dollars per gallon equals $10

Answer 10

your gas tank held 13 gallons and was one quarter full. on quarter of 13 is 3 and a quarter
\[\frac{13}{4}=3.25\]

Answer 11

add to that the 4 gallons you bought and you get a total of 4+ 3.25= 7.25 gallons
