Question

Vernon mixed 2 1/3 cups of water with 2 1/3 of white vinegar to make a cleaning solution.how much cleaning solution did he make

Answer 1

Write out the information given

`\begin{gathered} \text{Quantity of water=2}(1)/(3)cups\text{ } \\ \\ \text{Quantity of white vinegar=2}(1)/(3)cups \end{gathered}`

The quantity of the cleaning solution will the sum of the quantity above

The number model will be

`2(1)/(3)cups+2(1)/(3)\text{cups }`

Then

`\begin{gathered} 2(1)/(3)+2(1)/(3)=2*(2(1)/(3))=2*((7)/(3))=(14)/(3) \\ \text{then} \\ (14)/(3)=4(2)/(3) \end{gathered}`

hence the cleaning solution will be

`4(2)/(3)`

Answer: 4 2/3
