To determine how much Molly's family plans to spend on meals, we can break this down step by step.
1. **Calculate the amount spent on gasoline and motel rooms:**
\[
\text{Amount for gasoline and motels} = \frac{3}{5} \times 3000 = \frac{9000}{5} = 1800
\]
2. **Calculate the remainder after spending on gasoline and motels:**
\[
\text{Remaining amount} = 3000 - 1800 = 1200
\]
3. **Calculate the amount spent on meals:**
The family plans to spend \( \frac{1}{2} \) of the remaining amount on meals:
\[
\text{Amount for meals} = \frac{1}{2} \times 1200 = \frac{1200}{2} = 600
\]
So, Molly's family plans to spend **$600** on meals.
