To find out how much gas is in the tank, you can multiply the total capacity of the tank by the fraction that represents how full it is.
The total capacity of the gas tank is 12 gallons, and it is \( \frac{5}{8} \) full.
To calculate the amount of gas in the tank:
\[
\text{Amount of gas} = \text{Total capacity} \times \text{Fraction full}
\]
\[
\text{Amount of gas} = 12 \, \text{gallons} \times \frac{5}{8}
\]
\[
\text{Amount of gas} = 12 \times 0.625 = 7.5 \, \text{gallons}
\]
So, there are 7.5 gallons of gas in the tank.
