Answer 1

Ian makes 7 ½ quarts of fruit punch using 3 different juices. The juices he used are listed.
 3 ¼ quarts of blueberry juice
 1 1/3 quarts of pineapple juice
 W quarts of watermelon juice
How many quarts of watermelon juice, W, did Ian use to make the fruit punch?

Answer 2

First lay it out mathematically...
\[3\frac{ 1 }{ 4 }+1\frac{ 1 }{ 3 }+W=7\frac{ 1 }{ 2 }\]
Now turn them all into top heavy fractions...
\[\frac{ 13 }{ 4 }+\frac{ 4 }{ 3 }+W=\frac{ 15 }{ 2 }\]
Before we can add or take away we need the same denominator, 12 seems to be the lowest common factor...

Answer 3

\[\frac{ 39 }{ 12 }+\frac{ 16 }{ 12 }+W=\frac{ 90 }{ 12 }\]
Simplify...
\[\frac{ 55 }{ 12 }+W=\frac{ 90 }{ 12 }\]
and solve...
\[W=\frac{ 90 }{ 12 }-\frac{ 55 }{ 12 }\]
\[W=\frac{ 35 }{ 12 } Quarts\]

Answer 21

okay so u have 3 1/4 u multiply the denominator which is the 4 by the whole number which is 3 so now u have 12 but then u add 1 now u have 13/4

Answer 22

The other side 1 1/3 same thing so 1*3 = 3 + 1 = 4 so now u have 3/4

Answer 23

whats next

Answer 24

then u cross multiply
