    1 5/16 gallon

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Gallon of ice brought by Karen = 3/8

    Gallon of ice brought by Robin = 15/16

    Total ice team brought by them is sum of Gallon of ice brought by Karen + Gallon of ice brought by Robin

    Total ice team brought by Karen and Robin = 3/8 + 15/16

    => 3*2/8*2 + 15/16

    we are multiplying with 2 both numerator and denominator in 3/8 so sas the denominator becomes 16 as in other fraction denominator is 16

    => 6/16 + 15/16

    => (6+15) / 16 = 21/16

    since 21/16 is improper fraction, converting it in mixed fraction we have

    21/16 = 1 5/16 gallon

    Thus, Karen and Robin have 1 5/16 gallon ice tea together.
