Part A: To represent the total amount of juice left in the jar, we add the initial amount of lime juice, orange juice, and the amount of cranberry juice poured into the jar, and then subtract the amount of juice Meg drank. Therefore, the expression using addition to represent the total amount of juice left in the jar is:
0.65 liters (lime juice) + 0.40 liters (orange juice) + 0.35 liters (cranberry juice) - 0.10 liters (juice Meg drank)
Part B: Simplifying the expression, we can add the coefficients for the juices and subtract the coefficient representing the juice Meg drank.
0.65 + 0.40 + 0.35 - 0.10 = 1.40 liters
Therefore, the simplified expression for the total amount of juice left in the jar is 1.40 liters.
A jar contains 0.65 liter of lime juice and 0.40 liter of orange juice. Meg poured 0.35 liter of cranberry juice into the jar. She then drank 0.10 liter of the mixture.
