Answer:
11 1/2 quarts
Explanation:
We need to add the quarts of paint
2 2/4 + 4 3/4 + 4 1/4
Since they all have the same denominator for the fraction, we add the whole numbers
2+4+4 = 10
And the fractions
2/4 + 3/4+ 1/4 = 6/4
This is bigger than 1
6-4 =2 so we have 1 +2/4
10 + 1 + 2/4
11 2/4
We can simplify 2/4 because the top and bottom can be divided by 2
11 1/2 quarts
