Given:

The capacity of the gas tank = 16 gallon

He filled the gas tank and used half of it for a trip i.e

fraction of gallon used = 1/2

Solution

The gallon of gas used can be calculated using the formula:

[tex]\text{gallon of gas used = fraction of gallon used }\times\text{ gallon of gas filled}[/tex]

Substituting, we have:

[tex]\begin{gathered} \text{gallon of gas used = }\frac{1}{2}\text{ }\times\text{ 16} \\ =\text{ 8 gallons} \end{gathered}[/tex]
