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]
