Problem 37
Answer: B. 4 & 1/4 gallons
-------------------
Work Shown:
The 3/4 and 1/2 add up to (3/4)+(1/2) = (3/4)+(2/4) = 5/4 = 1&1/4
The whole part 1 is then added to the other whole parts 1 and 2 to get 1+2+1 = 4
Overall, the grand total is 4 & 1/4
An alternative way is to convert each mixed number to a decimal to get 1&1/2 = 1+1/2 = 1+0.5 = 1.5 and 2&3/4 = 2+3/4 = 2+0.75 = 2.75
Add up those decimals 1.5+2.75 = 4.25
then convert that result to a mixed number: 4.25 = 4+0.25 = 4+1/4 = 4&1/4
