Expert Solution

Step 1

To find:

The total amount of mixture.

Given:

The farmer mixed $2 \frac{5}{8}$ gallons of liquid fertilizers with $3 \frac{1}{8}$ gallons of water.

Calculation:

The total amount of mixture is the sum of the amount of liquid fertilizers and water.

$\begin{array}{rcl} 2 \frac{5}{8} + 3 \frac{1}{8} & = & \frac{21}{8} + \frac{25}{8} \\ = & \frac{46}{8} \\ = & \frac{23}{4} \\ = & 5 \frac{3}{4} \end{array}$

Thus, the total amount of mixture is $5 \frac{3}{4}$ gallons.
