    Given:

    2 1/6 quarts of white

    3 1/2 quarts of green

    1 3/4 quarts of yellow

    Add up all the fractions.

    1) convert to improper fractions:

    2 1/6 → (6*2) + 1 = 13/6

    3 1/2 → (2*3) + 1 = 7/2

    1 3/4 → (4*1) + 3 = 7/4

    2) Identify LCD and multiply each fraction to reach the LCD. LCD is 12.

    13/6 * 2/2 = 26/12

    7/2 * 6/6 = 42/12

    7/4 * 3/3 = 21/12

    26/12 + 42/12 + 21/12 = (26+42+21) / 12 = 89/12

    89/12 must be converted into a mixed fraction which will result to 7 5/12

    A. Yes, the answer is reasonable.

    89/12 or 7 5/12 is 7.42 in decimal form. It can be rounded down to the nearest whole number which is 7.
