Question

I have one third gallon of juice and one sixth gallon. How many more gallons is need to make three gallons

Answer 1

Answer:

2.5 gallons

Step-by-step explanation:

Make the denominators of the fractions the same and combine them

$\frac{1}{3} =\frac{2}{6}$

$\frac{2}{6} +\frac{1}{6} =\frac{3}{6}$

Then simplify the fraction

$\frac{3}{6} =\frac{1}{2}$

Then subtract how many gallons you have from how many you want

$3 -\frac{1}{2} = 2\frac{1}{2}$

You will need 2.5 gallons to make 3 gallons
