Answer:

The answer is "Gavin combined paint to to produce 2 mango paint containers"

Explanation:

For the development of Mango shade, Gavin used the red and the yellow colour. He wants to add one batch:

5 5/6 + 5 5/6

For 2 batches:

5 5/6 + 5 5/6 +5 5/6 + 5 5/6

Solve the equation in two parts:

First Solving the whole numbers:

5+5+5+5 =20

Second Solving the fractions part :

=5/6 + 5/6 +5/6 + 5/6

= 5 + 5 + 5 + 5 / 6

=20/6

=10/3

Gavin combined paint to to produce 2 mango paint containers.

Kinda a hard one

To find the total amount of Sunrise Orange paint that Gavin mixed for the 2 batches, you would need to know the amount of paint he mixed for each batch. Let's assume that he mixed the same amount of paint for each batch, which we will call "x".

To find the total amount of paint he mixed, you can use the formula:

Total amount of paint = amount of paint for batch 1 + amount of paint for batch 2

We can substitute "x" for both amounts of paint and get:

Total amount of paint = x + x

Simplifying, we get:

Total amount of paint = 2x

Therefore, to find the total amount of Sunrise Orange paint that Gavin mixed for the 2 batches, you just need to multiply the amount of paint in one batch by 2.
