Question

Cameryn mixes 1 1 4gallons of water with 5 6gallons of food coloring to create a solution for her science project. If Cameryn only uses 2 gallons of the solution for her experiment, how many gallons of solution will be leftover?

Answer 1

Answer: 1/12

Explanation:

From the question, we are informed that Cameryn mixes 1 1/4 gallons of water with 5/6 gallons of food coloring to create a solution for her science project. The gallons for the solution will then be:

= 1 1/4 + 5/6

= 1 3/12 + 10/12

= 1 13/12

= 1 + 1 1/12

= 2 1/12

If Cameryn only uses 2 gallons of the solution for her experiment, the number of gallons of solution that will be leftover will be:

= 2 1/12 - 2

= 1/12 gallons
