Answer 2

Answer : Regan sold lemonade is,
`1(11)/(12)` gallons

Step-by-step explanation :

Mark sold lemonade =
`2(7)/(8)=(23)/(8)` gallons

As, Regan sold
`(2)/(3)` as much as Mark.

This means that,

Regan sold lemonade =
`(23)/(8)* (2)/(3)` gallons

Regan sold lemonade =
`(23)/(12)` gallons

Now we are converting it into mixed fraction.

Regan sold lemonade =
`1(11)/(12)` gallons

Therefore, the Regan sold lemonade is,
`1(11)/(12)` gallons
