A student solved this problem and said the answer is 1 3/4 quarts. Gary mixed 1/4 quart of plain milk and 2/3 quart of chocolate milk to make all the milk chocolate flavored. What was the total amount of chocolate flavored milk?

Is the student's answer reasonable?

Gary is wrong. the answer is 11/12.

1/4 + 2/3= n
1/4= 3/12
2/3= 8/12
3/12+8/12= 11/12 .
So, the answer cannot be 1 & 3/4.
