*

11.74 gallons

1 answer

To find the amount of lemonade left in the dispenser, we need to subtract the total amount of lemonade consumed from the amount that was initially in the dispenser.

Total amount of lemonade consumed: 5.68 gallons + 6.06 gallons = 11.74 gallons

Amount of lemonade left in the dispenser: 13 gallons - 11.74 gallons = 1.26 gallons

Therefore, the correct answer is 1.26 gallons.
