the total amount of oil used is 9 11/16 quarts

Explanation:

in order to solve this question and find the total amount of oil used, you have to add all three of the mixed numbers.

1- add all the whole numbers

3 + 2 + 4 = 9

2- add all the fractions (denominator must be the same, convert if needed)

1/16 + 1/8 = 3/16

3/16 + 1/2 = 11/16

3- combine the two results together

9 + 11/16 = 9 11/16
