Answer 2

The price of gas is advertised as $3.39 9/10 per gallon. To convert this to a decimal:

- The "3.39" represents 3 dollars and 39 cents.
- The "9/10" indicates that there is an additional 0.9 cents.

Thus, the decimal representation of the price is:

\[
3.39 + 0.09 = 3.399
\]

Therefore, the price of a gallon of gas strictly as a decimal is **3.399**.

Answer 3

Let's clarify the conversion of the gas price $3.39 9/10 per gallon.

The price can be separated as follows:
- **$3.39** represents 3 dollars and 39 cents.
- **9/10** of a cent can be expressed in decimal form as **0.009** dollars.

Therefore, to express the full price in decimal form, we add:

\[
3.39 + 0.009 = 3.399
\]

So yes, the price of a gallon of gas, strictly in decimal form, is indeed **3.399**. Thank you for prompting a re-evaluation.
