Final answer:
The total amount of juice in the jar is found by adding the volume of blackberry juice (0.75 liters) to the volume of blueberry juice (0.60 liters), resulting in a total of 1.35 liters.
Step-by-step explanation:
To find the total amount of juice in the jar, we simply add the volume of blackberry juice to the volume of blueberry juice. The jar contains 0.75 liters of blackberry juice and 0.60 liters of blueberry juice. To determine the total volume, we perform the following calculation:
0.75 liters (blackberry juice) + 0.60 liters (blueberry juice) = 1.35 liters (total juice)
Therefore, the correct answer is b) 1.35 liters. This question does not require the use of the distributive property as it is a straightforward addition of two volumes.
The volumes given in this problem correspond to everyday volumes that we are familiar with. For example, a soda bottle typically holds about 1 liter, which is close to the total volume of juice in our problem. To give another comparison, a juice box holds about 25 centiliters, which is a quarter of a liter, much less than the total volume we calculated.
