Question

Kyle pours 3/4 liter of a liquid from a beaker. Then he puts another 1/2 liter of liquid. What is the overall change in the amount of liquid in the beaker

Answer 1

Answer:

1 and 1/4

Step-by-step explanation:

add 3/4 and 1/2, divide 1/2 into 2/4 and when you add 2/4 to 3/4 you have an extra quarter. therefor you have 4/4 and 1/4 which is 1 and 1/4.

hope this helps <3

Answer 2

Answer:

$1\frac{1}{4}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Add the given values (Since we don't know the original amount and we are given the amount of which is changed with, we need to add those amounts together to know by how much the liquid beaker changed.)

$\frac{3}{4} = 0.75\\\\\frac{1}{2} = 0.5\\\\0.5 + 0.75 = 1.25\\\\\frac{3}{4} + \frac{1}{2} = 1\frac{1}{4}$

Therefore, the overall change in the amount of liquid in the beaker is $1\frac{1}{4}$ liters.
