Question

A painter mixed 98.7 gallons of blue paint with 67.05 gallons of red paint in a paint-mixing machine. How much total paint is in the machine?

Answer 1

There is a total of `165.75` gallons of paint in the machine.

Explanation:

There are two types of paint total that we put into the machine: blue paint and red paint. Since we are combining two things and want to know what the total is, we add the two numbers up. Therefore, we add:

`98.7 + 67.05`, which equals to `165.75`.

There is a total of `165.75` gallons of paint in the machine.

Hope this helps!
