Question

A jar contains 0.85 liter of strawberry juice and 0.50 liter of mango juice. Celina poured 0.15 liter of watermelon juice into the jar. She then drank 0.30 liter of the mixture. Part A: Write an expression to represent the total amount of juice left in the jar. (5 points) Part B: Identify which property is used in each step to simplify the expression. (5 points)

Answer 1

For this one, you need to combine all of them.
So, 0.85 + 0.5 + 0.15 = 1.5
So, there was a total of 1.5 liters in the jar.
Then, she drank 0.3 liters, so we need to subtract 0.3 from 1.5 which would give you an equal of 1.2 liters left in the jar.
The expression would look like this
( 0.85 + 0.5 + 0.15 ) - 0.3 = 1.2
I hope this helps.
YOU'RE WELCOME :D
