1. Mr.Jensen bought 2 2/3 gallons of gasoline yesterday. Today he bought 3 1/2 more gallons. How many total gallons of gasoline has he bought?
A 5 3/5 gallons
B 5 3/6 gallons
C 6 1/6 gallons
D 5 1/6 gallons

Answer 1

do you know how to do these type of problems?
lets say it was:
```
Sam bought 4 apples yesterday, and today he bought another 3 apples.
How many apples does Sam now have?
```
then you would add the apples to get your answer.
3+4=7
So the answer is 7.

Answer 2

your example is not any different, besides that it involves adding fractions.

Answer 3

\[2\tfrac{2}{3}+3\tfrac{1}{2}\] is what you have to add
the \(2+3=5\) part is pretty easy, all that is left is \(\frac{2}{3}+\frac{1}{2}\)
