Agenerator runs for 2 1/2 hours and uses 4 3/8 gal of fuel per hour .how many gallons of fuel did the generator use in total? enter your answer as a mixed number in simplest form.

4 3/8  x 2 = 8 6/8 
4 3/8 divide 2 = 3/32 
6/8 x 4 = 24/32 
24/32 + 3/32 = 27/32 

I'll do the first one for you. it isn't very hard at all.on number one, you have (50 × 3), which equals 150, and (3 × 3), which equals 9. after you establish that, you add 150 and 9 together. so, (150 + 9) equals 159.this means that 53 × 3 = 159.
