One of my cats, Apollo, drives a cat car. He used 6/8 of a tank of gas to visit his friends for the weekend, and another 1 half of a tank to commute to work the next week. He then took another weekend trip and used a 1/4 tank of gas. How many tanks of gas did Apollo use altogether? Tanks of gas

Total gas used = 3/2 of a tank of gas

Step-by-step explanation:

Visit to friend = 6/8 of a tank of gas

Commute to work = 1/2 of a tank of gas

Weekend trip = 1/4 of a tank of gas

Total gas used = Visit to friend + Commute to work + Weekend trip

= 6/8 + 1/2 + 1/4

= 6+4+2/8

= 12/8

= 3/2

Total gas used = 3/2 of a tank of gas
