Question

A container holds 4 gallons 2 quarts of juice another container holds 1 3/4 gallons more than the first container altogether how much juice can both containers hold

Answer 1

`10(3)/(4)` gallons of juice altogether [or, 10 gallons 3 quarts]

Explanation:

4 quarts = 1 gallon

So 2 quarts would be 1/2 gallon

Thus,

we have:

4 1/2 gallons in first container

Next container holds 1 3/4 MORE, so that container holds:

`4(1)/(2)+1(3)/(4)\\=(9)/(2)+(7)/(4)\\=(18+7)/(4)\\=(25)/(4)` gallons

In total, the number of gallons is:

`4(1)/(2)+(25)/(4)\\=(9)/(2)+(25)/(4)\\=(18+25)/(4)\\=(43)/(4)\\=10(3)/(4)` gallons

or 10 gallons and 3 quarts
