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.
