The answer to your question is 17/24 gallon

Step-by-step explanation:

Data

total volume = 1 gallon

She uses 3/8 gallon and 1/3 gallon

Process

1.- To find the answer, just sum up the water she used to water her roses and the volume she used to water her geraniums.

            3/8 + 1/3 =

- Look for the Least common factor

   8 x 3 = 24           LCF = 24

- Solve the fraction

           3/8 + 1/3 = (9 + 8) / 24

                          = 17/24

2.- Conclusion

     She used 17/24 gallon to water her flowers.

She used 17/24 gallons.
