PLS HELP

The table shows amounts of different types of juices that Staci mixes to make fruit punch.
She plans to fill 1.4-liter containers and wants to know how many containers she needs.

Type of Juice Amount (L)
Apple 2.79
Grape 3.06
Orange 2.44
Pineapple 3.82

Part A
Which of the following explains the steps for solving the problem?

A.


Find the sum of the amounts. Then multiply the sum by 1.4 to find the number of containers that can be filled.
B.


Find the sum of the amounts. Then divide the sum by 1.4 to find the number of containers that can be filled.
C.


Subtract 1.4 from each amount. Then add the differences to find the number of containers that can be filled.
D.


Multiply 1.4 times each amount. Then add the amounts and divide the sum by 1.4 to find the number of containers that can be filled.
Part B
Which equation shows how to solve the problem?
A. (2.79 – 1.4) + (3.06 – 1.4) + (2.44 – 1.4) + (3.82 – 1.4) = 6.51
B. 2.79 + 3.06 + 2.44 + 3.82 = 12.11; 12.11 × 1.4 = 16.954
C. 2.79 + 3.06 + 2.44 + 3.82 = 12.11; 12.11 ÷ 1.4 = 8.65
D. (2.79 × 1.4) + (3.06 × 1.4) + (2.44 × 1.4) + (3.82 × 1.4) = 16.954; 16.954 ÷ 1.4 = 12.11
Part C
How many containers will Staci be able to fill completely?
