Answer 2

5.5

Explanation:

Miranda mixes 34.5 fluid ounces of blue paint

40.5 fluid ounces of red paint.

2 fluid ounces of black paint to produce a purple paint

She pours this purple paint into 14 jars

Therefore the amount of paint in each jar can be calculated as follows

= 34.5 + 40.5 + 2

= 77/14

= 5.5 fluid ounces

Hence there are 5.5 fluid ounces of purple paint in each jar
