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

Verified Answer :

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

Answer:

\(2\frac{5}{6}\text{ gallon }\)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

The number of gallon of fuel used = \(5\frac{2}{3}\) gallon,

Number of hours = 2 hours,

Thus, the number of gallon used in one hour

\(=\frac{\text{total gallon used}}{\text{Number of hours}}\)

\(=\frac{5\frac{2}{3}}{2}\)

\(=\frac{17/3}{2}\)

\(=\frac{17}{6}\)

= \(2\frac{5}{6}\)
