To graphically add two vectors a and b using the -tail and tip-method, you must draw the tail of b at the tip of the vector a. Then you must draw a line that goes from the tail of a to the tip of b. This line represents the sum of .
In this problem, notice that the tail of the vector w is on the tip of the vector v. The line that joins the tail of v with the tip of w is u.
Jason will need to use 9 more 1/3 gallon-ful pitchers to fill the rest of the empty 3/4 gallon water jug. You convert the two fractions so they have the same denominator (1/12 and 3/12). Then you add the remaining amount of 1/12's to complete 12/12, or 1.
