Question

Devin drank 1/8 gallon of orange juice, and his brother Sam drank 1/3 of the same gallon. How much of the gallon of orange juice did they drink

Answer 1

11/24

Explanation:

Devin drank 1/8 gallon of orange juice, and his brother Sam drank 1/3 of the same gallon.

So the total amount they drank is 1/8 + 1/3 = (3 + 8)/24 = 11/24 of a gallon.

Therefore, they drank 11/24 of the gallon of orange juice.

Answer 2

1/8+1/3. The denominator is changed to 24. 1/8 will turn to 3/24 and 1/3 will turn to 8/24. 3/24+8/24= 11/24.
