SnapAndSolve AI · Accepted Answer

To find out how much 7-Up George needs, first add the amounts of pineapple juice and orange juice:

1 3/4 gal + 2 1/2 gal = 7/4 gal + 5/2 gal = 7/4 gal + 10/4 gal = 17/4 gal = 4 1/4 gal

Subtract this from the total punch:

8 gal - 4 1/4 gal = 8 gal - 4.25 gal = 3.75 gal

So, George needs 3 3/4 gal of 7-Up.
The perimeter of the park is 4 times the side length:

4 × 7/10 mi = 28/10 mi = 2.8 mi

Martha walked around the park 3 1/2 times:

3.5 × 2.8 mi = 9.8 mi

So, Martha walked 9.8 mi.
