    29 1/6 OR 29.1666 ...

    Step-by-step explanation:

    70/2=35

    35 = 1/2

    35/2=17.5

    This means that 1/4 = 17.5.

    17.5x3, (35 + 17.5) = 52.5.

    3/4 = 52.5

    3/4 - 1/3

    Multiply diagonally

    3x3=9

    1x4=4

    9-4=5

    5/?

    Multiply denominators

    4x3=12

    3/4-1/3=5/12

    5/12 x Full Tank (70/1)

    Frankly I'd rather skip showing you how to multiply fractions so lets just skip that (I'll explain it if you ask)

    175/6

    Break it down

    6x29=174

    180-174=1

    29 1/6
