Question

1. a painter mixes \\(\frac{1}{4}\\) gallon of red paint, 3 quarts of yellow paint, and 2 quarts of white paint. how many quarts of paint are in the mixture?

remember,
4 quarts = 1 gallon.

Explanation:

Step1: Convert red paint to quarts

We know that 1 gallon = 4 quarts, so for \(\frac{1}{4}\) gallon of red paint, we calculate \(\frac{1}{4}\times4\) quarts.
\(\frac{1}{4}\times4 = 1\) quart.

Step2: Sum up all the quarts of paint

We have 1 quart of red, 3 quarts of yellow, and 2 quarts of white. So we add them together: \(1 + 3+ 2\).
\(1+3 + 2=6\) quarts.

Answer:
