To find the total amount of paint, we need to add the amounts of blue, red, and white paint that Sarina is mixing:
Blue paint = 1/4 gallon
Red paint = 1/4 gallon
White paint = 1/4 gallon
Adding these fractions together gives us:
1/4 + 1/4 + 1/4 = 3/4
Therefore, Sarina has a total of 3/4 gallon of paint.
To find the total amount of paint Sarina has when she mixes blue, red, and white paint, we need to add up the fractions.
Sarina adds 1/4 gallon of blue paint, 1/4 gallon of red paint, and 1/4 gallon of white paint.
To add fractions, we need to have a common denominator. In this case, the fractions already have the same denominator, which is 4.
Adding the fractions together, we get:
1/4 + 1/4 + 1/4 = 3/4 gallon
Therefore, Sarina has a total of 3/4 gallon of paint.
