Question: 1 / 160

A car can hold 12 gallons of gas. If you fill it with 7 gallons, how many gallons can it still hold?

3 gallons

4 gallons

5 gallons

To determine how many gallons the car can still hold after filling it with 7 gallons, you need to start with the total capacity of the gas tank, which is 12 gallons. Then, subtract the amount of gas already in the tank from the total capacity.

The calculation would be as follows:

Total capacity of the tank: 12 gallons

Amount of gas already in the tank: 7 gallons

Now, perform the subtraction:

12 gallons (total capacity) - 7 gallons (currently in the tank) = 5 gallons.

Thus, the car can still hold 5 gallons of gas. This confirms that the answer is correct, as it accurately reflects the remaining capacity of the tank after the initial 7 gallons have been added.

6 gallons
