Question

Rosa poured 1 3/4 quarts of grape juice into a container. She added 3 1/3 quarts of apple juice. She then poured 2 2/3 quarts of the mixed juice into a pitcher. How many quarts of mixed juice were left in the container?

Is the answer 1/3?
Ms. Sue
1 3/4 = 1 9/12
3 1/3 = 3 4/12

1 9/12 + 3 4/12 = 4 13/12 = 5 1/12

4 13/12 - 2 8/12 = 2 5/12

I got it now- thanks Ms. Sue!
2 5/12
Thank you very much.
