Answer :

Answer:

[tex]2\frac{1}{4}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Question has missing details (See attachment).

Given

[tex]Orange\ Juice = 1\frac{1}{4}quart[/tex]

[tex]Pineapple\ Juice = 2\frac{1}{2}quart[/tex]

[tex]Seltzer = 1\frac{1}{2}quart[/tex]

Required

Determine how much juice than seltzer used.

To do this, we first calculate the total amount of juice

[tex]Juice = Orange + Pineapple[/tex]

[tex]Juice = 1\frac{1}{4} + 2\frac{1}{2}[/tex]

[tex]Juice = \frac{5}{4} + \frac{5}{2}[/tex]

Take LCM

[tex]Juice = \frac{5+10}{4}[/tex]

[tex]Juice = \frac{15}{4}[/tex]

Then subtract the amount of seltzer used.

[tex]Juice - Seltzer = \frac{15}{4}-1\frac{1}{2}[/tex]

[tex]Juice - Seltzer = \frac{15}{4}-\frac{3}{2}[/tex]

Take LCM

[tex]Juice - Seltzer = \frac{15 - 6}{4}[/tex]

[tex]Juice - Seltzer = \frac{9}{4}[/tex]

[tex]Juice - Seltzer = 2\frac{1}{4}[/tex]

The amount of juice used more than seltzer is [tex]2\frac{1}{4}[/tex]
