Q. Jesse bought 13\frac{1}{3} of a gallon of gas for $.40\$.40 how much would a whole gallon of gas cost?
  1. Understand the problem: Step 11: Understand the problem.\newlineJesse bought 13\frac{1}{3} of a gallon of gas for $0.40\$0.40. To find the cost of a whole gallon, we need to multiply the cost of 13\frac{1}{3} gallon by 33.\newlineCalculation: $0.40×3=$1.20\$0.40 \times 3 = \$1.20
  2. Check the calculation: Step 22: Check the calculation.\newlineMultiplying $\$00.4040 by 33 should give us the cost of a full gallon since 3×(1/3)=13 \times (1/3) = 1, which represents a whole gallon.\newlineCalculation: 3×$0.40=$1.203 \times \$0.40 = \$1.20
