A container holds 4 gallons 2 quarts of juice another container holds 1 3/4 gallons more than the first container altogether how much juice can both containers hold

Respuesta :

Answer:

[tex]10\frac{3}{4}[/tex] gallons of juice altogether [or, 10 gallons 3 quarts]

Step-by-step explanation:

4 quarts = 1 gallon

So 2 quarts would be 1/2 gallon

Thus,

we have:

4  1/2 gallons in first container

Next container holds 1  3/4 MORE, so that container holds:

[tex]4\frac{1}{2}+1\frac{3}{4}\\=\frac{9}{2}+\frac{7}{4}\\=\frac{18+7}{4}\\=\frac{25}{4}[/tex] gallons

In total, the number of gallons is:

[tex]4\frac{1}{2}+\frac{25}{4}\\=\frac{9}{2}+\frac{25}{4}\\=\frac{18+25}{4}\\=\frac{43}{4}\\=10\frac{3}{4}[/tex] gallons

or 10 gallons and 3 quarts
