Explanation:
The subject of this question is Mathematics, and it is a problem on addition of fractions. The content loaded question is Helen mixes 11/12 oz of red paint with 1 3/4 oz of white paint. How many ounces of paint does Helen mix? This question is asking us to calculate the total amount of paint that Helen has after mixing red and white paints.
We start by adding the two fractions. First, convert the mixed number 1 3/4 to an improper fraction which is 7/4. Then, to add 11/12 and 7/4 (or 14/8), we need to have a common denominator. The least common denominator for 12 and 8 is 24. Therefore, we convert 11/12 and 14/8 to 22/24 and 42/24 respectively. Adding these two gives us 64/24.
However, since the question asks for the answer in ounces, which is a whole number, we convert the fraction 64/24 back to a whole number and we get 2 2/3 ounces. Therefore, the correct answer is not listed among the choices (A to D) provided.
