Answer 1

Mr. Baldwin needs 131/10 gallons of paint in total.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find out how much paint Mr. Baldwin needs in total, we need to add the gallons of yellow paint and the gallons of blue paint. The given quantities are 7, 4, 3/5, and 3/2. To add these fractions, we need to find a common denominator, which is 10. Converting 7 to an equivalent fraction with denominator 10, we get 70/10. Then, adding all the fractions, we have:

70/10 + 40/10 + 6/10 + 15/10 = 131/10

Therefore, Mr. Baldwin needs 131/10 gallons of paint in total.
