just change everything to the same ounces subtract and put back in original form.

I'm assuming that you want to subtract the 2 gal. etc. from the 7 gal. etc., otherwise you'll get a negative answer. So just like subtracting integers, you start with the smallest and work your way up.

12 oz. - 14 oz., you need to "borrow" from the pints. A pint is 16 oz. so that gives us 28 oz. - 14 oz. = 14 oz.

Then the pints, except you "borrowed" a pint so you need to borrow from the quarts. 1 quart is 2 pints so that gives 2 pints - 1 pint = 1 pint.

Now for the quarts: you "borrowed a quart so you have 2 qt. - 2qt. = 0 qt.

Then 7 gal. - 2 gal. = 5 gal.

So the answer is 5 gallons 0 quarts 1 pint and 14 ounces.

How do you calculate miles per gallon?

fill up your tank, make sure it is full write down mileage when you do. drive vehicle fill up your tank like you did before write down new mileage take new mileage and subtract old mileage: example 44,500 first recorded mileage 44,900 second recorded mileage Subtract 44,900 - 44,500 ________ 400 miles Now divide the 400 miles by the number of gallons you put in the car the 2nd time. Let's say it took 20 gallons 400 divided by 20 = 20 ...that is how many miles you get PER gallon of gas. For every 20 miles you drive, you burn 1 gallon of gas. last edited by Laces12 at 9:37 am on 11/19/08 edit was bubtract to subtract
