Question

A factory puts 5/8 of a gallon of vinegar into each batch of salad dressing. How many gallons of vinegar will be used in 2 batches?

Answer 1

Answer:

1 1/4

Step-by-step explanation:

$\frac{5}{8} +\frac{5}{8}=\frac{10}{8}= 1 \frac{2}{8}= 1\frac{1}{4}$

five eighths plus five eighths equals ten eighths simplified to one and two eighths and simplified again to one and one fourth.
