Question

Emelia mixed 3 1/4 liters of fruit juice with 2 3/5 liters of ice-cream soda to make fruit punch. How much fruit punch did she mix?

Answer 1

Answer: 5 17/20

Step-by-step explanation: Multiply the mixed fractions.

Answer 2

Emelia made 5.85 liters fruit punch.

Explanation:

Emelia mixed fruit juice =
`3(1)/(4)` liters

She mixed ice-cream soda =
`2(3)/(5)` liters

Now add both the numbers to get the amount of fruit punch she mixed.

`3(1)/(4)` +
`2(3)/(5)`

=
`(13)/(4)` +
`(13)/(5)`

=
`(65+52)/(20)`

=
`(117)/(20)`

= 5.85 liters.

Emelia made 5.85 liters fruit punch.
