Final answer:
Mary mixed Quatities of 2 2/3 ounces of paint by adding 11/12 oz of red paint and 1 3/4 oz of white paint.
Explanation:
To find out how many ounces of paint Mary mixed, we need to add the amounts of red and white paint.
First, let's add the red paint: 11/12 oz.
Next, let's add the white paint: 1 3/4 oz.
To add fractions, we need a common denominator. In this case, the common denominator is 12, so we can rewrite 1 3/4 as 7/4: 7/4 oz.
Now, let's add the two amounts: 11/12 + 7/4.
To add fractions with different denominators, we need to find a common denominator. In this case, the common denominator is 12. Multiply the numerator and denominator of the first fraction by 1 (12/12) and the numerator and denominator of the second fraction by 3 (3/3).
So, 11/12 + 7/4 is equal to (11/12) + (21/12) = 32/12.
We can simplify 32/12 to 2 8/12, and further simplify it to 2 2/3 oz.
Therefore, Mary mixed 2 2/3 ounces of paint.

Im assuming that to be the case, so:-
11/12 + 1 3/4
= 11/12 + 7/4
= 11/2 + 21 / 12
= 32 / 12
= 2 2/3 OZ. (Choice D).
