Question

helppp !!!

Mrs. Massoth blended 1 3/4 gallons of iced tea and some
lemonade for a picnic. If there were 4 1/2 gallons of the
beverage, how many gallons of lemonade did she use?

Answer 1

Answer: 2 3/4

Step-by-step explanation: 1/4 + 3/4 is 1 whole plus 1/4+1/4 would equal the 1/2 you need.

So we are up to 3/4 already. 1 3/4 + 3/4 = 2 1/2

We need to add 2 more to get to 4 1/2

So the answer would be 2 3/4

2 3/4 + 1 3/4 = 4 1/2
