Answer

\( \text{Total juice after} ~6~ \text{seconds} = 9.5 + 6 \times 1.75 = 9.5 + 10.5 = 20 ~\text{ounces}. \)

Steps

Step 1 ：\( \text{Initial juice} = 9.5 ~\text{ounces}. \)

Step 2 ：\( \text{Juice added per second} = 1.75 ~\text{ounces}. \)

Step 3 ：\( \text{Total juice after} ~6~ \text{seconds} = 9.5 + 6 \times 1.75 = 9.5 + 10.5 = 20 ~\text{ounces}. \)
