Answer: She can fill about 15 3.5- fluid once jars.

Explanation:

Given:

Quantity of red paint = 34.6 fluid ounces

Quantity of yellow paint = 18.6 fluid ounces

Total quantity of orange color = (Quantity of red paint )+(Quantity of yellow paint )

= (34.6+18.6) fluid ounces

= 53.2 fluid ounces

Number of 3.5- fluid ounce jars she can fill = (Total quantity of orange color) ÷ 3.5

= 53.2÷3.5 = 15 (approx)

Hence, She can fill about 15 3.5- fluid once jars.
