$\frac{2}{7}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

A car starts with a dull tank of gas

1/7 of the gas has been used around the city.

With the rest of the gas in the car, the car can travel to and from Ottawa three times.

Question asked:

What fractions of a tank of gas does each complete trip to Ottawa use?

Solution:

Fuel used around the city = $\frac{1}{7}$

Remaining fuel after driving around the city = 1 - $\frac{1}{7}$

= $\frac{7 - 1}{7} = \frac{6}{7}$

According to question:

As from the rest of the gas in the car that is $\frac{6}{7}$ , the car can complete 3 trip to Ottawa which means,

By unitary method:

The car can complete 3 trip by using = $\frac{6}{7}$ tank of gas.

The car can complete 1 trip by using = $\frac{6}{7} \div 3$

= $\frac{6}{7} \times\frac{1}{3}$

= $\frac{6}{21}$

= $\frac{2}{7}$ tank of gas

Thus, $\frac{2}{7}$ tank of gas used for each complete trip to Ottawa.
