Answer 1

#1:

Serena does not have enough albums to hold all the photographs.

Work:

40*36 = 1440

#2:

A group of 1,058 people is called in for jury duty.

Work:

A jury is made up of 12 jurors and 2 alternates.

1 jury = 12 jurors + 2 alternates = 14 members

So, the number of complete juries that can be formed is

= 1058/14 = 75.57

#3:
Gary's backpack will weigh 7.8 pounds with the math and science textbooks in it.

Work:

Total weight = backpack weight + math textbook weight + science textbook weight

Total weight = 1.2 + 3.75 + 2.85

Total weight = 7.8 pounds

#4:

Steven made 4.75 liters of punch.

Work:

Liters of Punch = orange juice + pineapple juice + sparkling water

Liters of Punch = 2.8 + 0.75 + 1.2

Liters of Punch = 4.75
