Question

First dispensed is 1/3 of a quart, later 1/4and then you dispensed 3 1/2 quarts. What’s the total volume that is dispensed

Answer 1

Answer:4 1/12.

Step-by-step explanation: First, you add 3 and a half with a quarter. A half equals two quarters so it equals 3 and 3/4.  Then, you add 3 3/4 with 1/3. A common denominator here is 12. 3/4 times 3/3 = 9/12. 1/3 times 4/4 = 4/12. 9+4 = 13. The answer is more than one so we carry and get 4 and 1/12.
