Question

A jar contains 0.65 liter of lime juice and 0.40 liter of orange juice. Meg poured 0.35 liter of cranberry juice into the jar. She then drank 0.10 liter of the mixture.
Part A: Write an expression to represent the total amount of juice left in the jar. (5 points)

Part B: Identify which property is used in each step to simplify the expression. (5 points)

Answer 1

very simple

part 1: 0.65 + 0.40 + 0.35 - 0.10

example of what you can do for part 2 (i want you to do some of the work so you learn :)

Example: Simplify 7.4 + 8.2 − 3.2 − 2.4 using the commutative and associative properties.

Step Expression Explanation

0 7.4 + 8.2 − 3.2 − 2.4 Original expression

1 7.4 + 8.2 + (−3.2) + (−2.4) Rewrite the subtraction using the additive inverse.

2 7.4 + (−2.4) + 8.2 + (−3.2) Use the commutative property to group similar numbers together.

3 (7.4 + (−2.4)) + 8.2 + (−3.2) Use the associative property to group the first pair of numbers.

4 5 + 8.2 + (−3.2) Simplify.

5 5 + (8.2 + (−3.2))

Use the associative property to group the last pair of numbers.

6 5 + 5 Simplify.

7 10

Answer 2

(0.65+0.4+0.35)-0.10 is equal to 1.3 

combining like terms is how you solve this problem
