Mike is mixing paint for his walls he mixes 1/6 gallon blue paint and 5/8 gallon green paint in large container what fraction represents the total amaunt of paint mike mixes

Given the fractions of paints blue and green above which are 1/6 and 5/8, we just have to add both fractions in order to know that total amount. In this case, since both fractions have different denominators, we need to find their least common denominator and that would be 24. So this would be 4/24 plus 15/24. So now that they have the same denominator, we just have to add the numerators and the answer is 19/24. Hope this helps.
