Question

A friend of mine is giving a dinner party. His current wine supply includes 9 bottles of Zinfandel, 11 of Merlot, and 13 of Cabernet (he only drinks red wine), all from different wineries. How many bottles of red wine does he have in total?

1) 9
2) 11
3) 13
4) 33

Answer 1

The total number of red wine bottles the friend has is the sum of the individual wines: 9 bottles of Zinfandel plus 11 bottles of Merlot plus 13 bottles of Cabernet, which equals 33 bottles in total.

Step-by-step explanation:

To calculate the total number of red wine bottles the student's friend has, we simply add the number of each type of wine bottle together. The friend has 9 bottles of Zinfandel, 11 bottles of Merlot, and 13 bottles of Cabernet.

9 bottles of Zinfandel + 11 bottles of Merlot + 13 bottles of Cabernet = 33 bottles of red wine in total.

Therefore, the answer is 4) 33.
