Final answer:

Option C). The water bottle is filled with 4 1/4 cups of liquid.

Step-by-step explanation:

We must add the amounts of ice and Gatorade combination to determine the total volume of liquid in the water bottle. Let's begin by converting the mixed integers into incorrect fractions. One two-third cup equals five-third cups, and one-half cup equals three-quarter cups. The fractions can now be added together: 5/3 + 3/2 = 15/6 + 9/6 = 24/6 = 4 cups. Lastly, we pour in the 1/4 cup of Gatorade mixture, making 4 + 1/4 = 4 1/4 cups in total. The water bottle is thus filled to the brim with 4 1/4 cups.

Correct question : Today is a hot day. You fill a water bottle with 1 2/3 cups of ice, one and one half cups of ice, and 1/4 cup of Gatorade mixture.

A). 1 3/4 cups
