Question 3

The price per gallon of gas as a mixed number is $3 and 19/50 or $3⅜.
To calculate the cost of filling up the tank, we need to know the price per gallon of gas. Since it is not provided in the question, we cannot calculate the exact cost.
To calculate the cost to fill up the tank, you need to multiply the capacity of the tank (14.25 gallons) by the rounded price of gas per gallon. From the given options, the rounded price is $3.38.
To multiply 14.25 by $3.38, you can use a calculator or perform the calculation manually. Here's how:
14.25 * $3.38 = $48.135
Since we need to round the answer to the nearest cent, we can round $48.135 to $48.14.
Therefore, the answer is $48.14.
Now, let's move on to the next question.
To express the price per gallon of gas as a mixed number using $3.38, you need to divide the whole part of the price by the fractional part. In this case, the whole part is 3 and the fractional part is 38 cents.
To express 38 cents as a fraction, you can divide it by 100:
38 cents / 100 = 38/100 = 19/50
Therefore, $3.38 as a mixed number is 3 19/50.
