If a slow leak in an inner tube has reduced the volume of the tube to one-third its original inflated volume,this means that one-third of the moles of gas have escaped the tube.(Assume constant temperature and pressure.)

According to the ideal gas law (PV=nRT), at constant temperature and pressure, the volume of a gas is directly proportional to the number of moles of the gas. If the volume of the tube is reduced to one-third its original volume, it means that two-thirds of the moles of gas have escaped, not one-third.
