Answer 1

7.5 Quarts

Explanation:

D'Naisa mixed the following:

• 1 gallon of orange paint
• 2 quarts of yellow paint
• 3 pints of red paint.

We are to determine in total, the number of quarts of paint that she mixed. this is done by converting each of the volume to quart.

1 gallon of orange paint

• 1 gallon = 4 Quarts
• Orange Paint=4 Quarts

3 pints of red paint.

• 1 pint =0.5 quart
• 3 Pints =3 X 0.5 Quart
• =1.5 Quart of red paint

Therefore,

Total Volume of Paint Mixed in quart= Volume of Orange+Yellow+Red

=4+2+1.5

=7.5 Quarts
