    First we find how much was left as 1/8 full

    16.8 times 0.125

    2.1

    Now add this to the amount that was added to reach full gauge

    2.1 + 16.8

    18.9

    Next we find out what 3/4 of a full tank is

    18.9 times 0.75

    14.175

    So, the gas tank has 14.175 gallons when it is 3/4 full
