Question

Mike added 3/16 gallon of blue paint and 1/4 gallon of green paint to 5 1/8 of white paint What was the total volume of the light blue/green paint?​

Answer 1

Answer: 5
`(9)/(16)` gallons

Explanation:

To find the total volume, we will add together all the paint values.

3/16 gallons + 1/4 gallons + 5 1/8 gallons = 5 9/16 gallons

3/16 gallons + 4/16 gallons + 5 2/16 gallons = 5 9/16 gallons
