Answer 1

Answer:

(A) 2 3/10

(B) 1 7/15

Step-by-step explanation:

(A) Add the gallons he collected together to get the total amount of milk he started with: 4/5 + 6/8 + 3/4 = 2 3/10 gallons of milk.

(B) Take that number, 2 3/10, and subtract the amount of milk he has left to get the amount of milk he used. 2 3/10 - 5/6 = 1 7/15
