We want to find the total change in the volume of water of a tub, given that we know how much water is used.

The change in volume is: -(9 + 7/10) quarts.

To find the change in volume, we need to find the total volume of water used.

We do know that:

  • Gavin uses (3 + 1/5) quarts of water
  • Quinley uses (6 + 1/2) quarts of water.

The total amount used is the sum of the two quantities above, we get:

(3 + 1/5) quarts + (6 + 1/2) quarts

(3 + 6 + 1/2 + 1/5) quarts

(9 + 7/10) quarts.

So the change in volume is related to this, and we should write:

Final Volume - Initial Volume = -(9 + 7/10) quarts.

Where the negative sign is because at the end we have less volume than at the beginning.
