Question

Monica is painting her kitchen and needs 1.5 gallons of purple paint, 2 3/4 gallons of red paint, and 0.75 of a gallon of yellow paint. How many total gallons of paint will Monica use to paint her kitchen? Express your answer as a decimal.

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Because the answer asks for the answer as a decimal, the only number you need to convert to a decimal is 2 3/4 of red paint.

2 is the whole number, so it will be before the decimal point.

Technically, the only thing you really have to convert is 3/4, which you can do by dividing the numerator (top number) by the denominator (bottom number).

3/4=.75

After adding 2 in front of the decimal point, you get 2.75.

Now all we have to do is add all of the decimals together.

2.75+.75+1.5=5

The total gallons of paint that Monica will use to paint her kitchen is 5.

Have a fantastic day...hope this helped you!!! c:

Answer 2

Answer:

5 gallons

Step-by-step explanation:

If you turn 2 3/4 to a decimal it is 2.75 and from there just add

2.75 + 1.5 + 0.75 = 5

Hope this helped!
